    Very happy to see user engagement, its a very positive sign and will ultimately lead to downfall of reddit.

      It’s getting better. I am not even visiting reddit at all and I still find content here.

      I also createdc/woahdude but not too many people adding content. Why is that?

    I don’t wanna poo poo on this, but there are bots literally just scraping Reddit and reposting all of the content. Big grain of rice here, gents.

      I mean bots on reddit are copying reddit to paste it on Reddit. In the future bots on Lemmy will copy Lemmy posts and paste it on Lemmy too. that’s just how reddit and lemmy works

    I’ve found my feed really picking up the past two weeks. Plenty of decent content to consume which is great.
    Nice growth.

    Since the 30th I’ve stopped going on reddit, but I must admit I still don’t participate here as much because the content I’m seeing it’s not as tailored to my interests as I’d like. Searching for communities tends to show a lot of communities with no participation at all, which is useless.

    Also wished there was a video player. Being constantly redirected to youtube is a bit annoying.

    But I’m very happy with Memmy for Lemmy. Not as polished as Apollo, but close enough. And Lemmy feels freer from bot/ai/ad content, and that is worth gold.

      well, communities without participants is not Lemmy’s fault.

      Although I do share the same experience. Euro communities are almost dead. Escooter community has like 5 members lol.

        The german lemmy community seems quite active from what I can tell. Can’t say anything about the EU community as a whole, just created my account 5 minutes ago and I’m still exploring what there is to see.

      yeah that’s the unfortunate thing about a smaller site! but the onus is on all of us to start participating, so even if you see an empty community, just post something in there!

    We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!

        I posted one yesterday on a major Subreddit. It did get a bit of hate. Couple of people signed up. Some of that hate seems to be bots, complaining that there’s no mobile app, and that it looks like old Reddit.

        I’ll keep monitoring, to see if it gets shadow removed. I bet a lot of the major subreddits are running on skeleton crews, so they can’t get everything.

          It’s possible they changed their policy. I posted links when the blackout was happening.

      Yup! As someone with a 16 year old reddit account, I’ve seen it all. This feels like back in the day

        I wouldn’t mind it, but I think a Discord-like reaction system might be better than the Reddit award system. I’m open though to either or neither.

      I hope in a few years he tries to pull a “I created the fediverse” thing like how Gore did with the internet lol
