Hello everyone,

Basically the title.

In my case, I'm trying to address the regularly brought up issue about Lemmy/Kbin only being about memes, tech and news.

Hence, I'm trying to post regularly on

As we all know, growing a community is hard, but I hope that over time they will become more populated.

LW + SJW accounts for about 24k of a total 60k MAU ... so a little under half the lemmy-verse, on top of which there's also kbin.

Something to think about though is the difference between user count and actual engagement.

A lot of the Twitter to mastodon migrants talked about this, finding that you could get more meaningful engagement on mastodon compared to pretty superficial vacuous stuff on twitter.

I stand corrected, but 40% of a platform is still a lot.

About the Twitter/Mastodon comparaison, I hope LW and SJW have not reached Twitter's level of toxicity yet

Oh for sure ... still, the fediverse can surprise you in how distributed it is, even with big mega instances like lemmy.world and mastodon.social.

Generally, it seems, about half of the users are happy on comparatively small to tiny instances.
