Now it’s a matter of sustaining and slow growth. Hopefully. Best thing you can do to see Lemmy succeed is participate: comment, post, doomscroll All+Top Hou ;)
It’ll take a while for some of the smaller communities to get critical mass. And that’s okay, probably. Critical mass is here for the larger topics already. I’ll do my best to help :)
How bout we not recreate the shit hole that is reddit. I can not express the relief I felt when I got out. You can’t make me go back!
Let’s focus on growing the niche communities we have instead copying other sites.
I absolutely understand and appreciate the sentiment, but we should not try to deny our origin story. Reddit was great for a long time there is much we can still learn from it.
That’s the nostalgia talking. You’d had to browse for hours to find a couple of good posts. You only remember the good ones.
Partly maybe. I remember when I first joined reddit though. It was well right around 2013 when Facebook was really booming. I was completely disgusted with social media at that point. Reddit was like a whole new world for me with an entire culture and language to learn. It all clicked with me and I felt like I fit in and belonged. Watching it burn this year has been difficult.
