Rather have 240k users here than 240m on reddit.
Sometimes it’s the quality of the shit posts and not the post shits.
I’m surprised how lively it feels here. It’s amazing that it feels nearly as fell as reddit with not even 1% of the user base.
People who use lemmy are more likely to be power users. The people who use their reddit account once a month generally don’t know or care about the issues that caused a lot of us to migrate.
I think the users on here tend to be active on the site in general rather than just a few specific subreddits. And also the small amount of users all interacting on the same communities gives the entire site the feeling that smaller subreddits used to have. Which was always infinitely better than big subreddits will millions of users, infested with bots.
Diarrhea doesn’t always win.
Yep, reddit got too big for its own good.
