For me reddit content was pretty shitty for the last couple of tears. Like 10 years ago I could scroll the front page and find everything pretty funny/interesting and that made me want to discuss the topics with the people there. In the last years, the front page become pretty dull to me, I was just going to reddit only to specific subs.
It wasn’t during Digg either and they declared victory. It took time to build. Lemmy is currently growing at about 65,000 more posts every day over the last and is on an exponential curve discounting the massive initial spike. There’s been some cleaning of the bot accounts that mess with the numbers a little. https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=120
I’d rather like this platform to have a slow and steady growth rather than a massive peak which is unbearable for the servers, immediately sending lemmy to the graveyard.
All the subreddits I followed have not had the migration to Lenny, as the equivalent here is pretty much a desert. Only 1 or 2 people are actively posting every day to keep it active
I read that the reddit userbase fell 3%. All those blackouts which ended without achieving anything. I left reddit when they announced the death of the API and never looked back.
No, no, the seeds of the site’s downfall have been planted by the administration, you gotta remember these sites depend on a tiny amount of power posters, not to mention the moderator contingent, which they pissed off. Not all migrated away, but enough did to hurt the quality of the site, and any that remain will remember. They HAVE lost a lot and haven’t noticed yet. Sites that big will not fall in a day, it will be alive a decade from now, like Livejournal or Slashdot are still alive.
As much as I hate to say it, the “migration” wasn’t as large as some people would have thoughts it’s going to be. Hoomans. Stoopid hoomans.
I’m not sure about raw numbers but Lemmy feels like home now and Reddit’s content is significantly worse so it’s still a win for me
It definitely does yea. I haven’t been on plebbit outside of a random search result for something I could not find otherwise.
Will the real Fry please stand up? We have a healthy amount of Fry avatars on Lemmy and I’m here for it.

Lemmy feels now to what reddit felt 10 years ago.

The quality of posts is certainly down.

Eh, it happens. At least you have us, your fellow bots, to keep you company.
