If you’re still using Reddit, please be a homie and spread the fediverse gospel

[-] NotSpez@lemm.ee 90 points 1 year ago

I will. But I do want to say that it’s my personal opinion, that yes, we definitely should grow as a community with more reddit refugees, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing to grow relatively slowly. On the technological side, we need the infrastructure growth to match the user base growth. Maybe even more importantly, I think most of us will agree we want to take the good of reddit with us, but definitely not the toxicity. Copy pasting the whole user base to the fediverse could lead to also copy pasting the culture that exists over there now. The thing I most enjoy on Lemmy is definitely the general vibe over the content for now, and that is pretty special on the Internet.

Also, we don't necessarily need a big userbase. Just a good active one. More is not necessarily better in my opinion.

Smaller is also much more manageable.

We don't need to be REDDIT big but....ayo you people need to post more so i can scroll an unhealthy amount all day.

[-] anticommon@lemmy.fmhy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

I like the collective 'we' makes me feel all warm and federated inside.

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Absolutely, I would be happy if we stayed where we are on the main subs with niche ones growing a bit. Game specific subs are still pretty barren with most of the content being three or four people. I could use some of that growth for sure.

A few hundred comments and consistent uploads are all I think we really need to keep chugging along.

Bluesky is super-fun right now, because it's got just enough folks to generate varied content, and everyone is playing ball on the same level.

[-] tryagain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

And that's largely because they've kept it invitation-only, so the users are all approximately simpatico. That can't last though. Eventually they'll have to open it up and let in the shills, the grifters and the racist uncles.

[-] IrrelevantBoB@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Bluesky is proprietary garbage, not free and with limited access.

If we want to be free we have an alternative to twitter/bluesky called nostr.

Let's not encourage golden cages and we won't have to regret it later when the obvious happens.

The nostr community reminds me a lot of the current state of lemmy, I hope with the growth of both communities it doesn't get lost.

The only thing I'm missing so far is the diversity. I used to follow lots of different 'Ask' subs for countries and regions around the world, and some others for different communities. So far I haven't seen that here.

Also, we don’t necessarily need a big userbase. Just a good active one. More is not necessarily better in my opinion.

Unfortunately, the main benefit of having a large userbase is that you can always find a community for any obscure interest you have! That's not really the case with lemmy now.

Every day of people still using Reddit is a day when a portion of humanity's ability to communicate is controlled by one psychopath.
