I’m new here on Lemmy.

When looking at the different communities, I get really surprised at how few people are using it. For instance, the ProCreate community says 4 / users per month. Does that mean only 4 people are being active? Or have I misunderstood?

Thank you in advance!

        Yeah that’s been my take too. Honestly, minus missing more OC, I like Lemmy a lot. It’s definitely starting to hit that Reddit-like feel to it

        It’s going to be interesting to see how Lemmy evolves and what impact this has on reddit. The engagement here and activity level of the users seems so much higher than on Reddit.

        I wonder what percentage of “posters” came over verse lurkers.

        What if reddit lost 50% of it’s posters and lemmy got them all?

          Yep… I still think the “Powerusers” - Mods and actually active Posters, creators of original content - were the ones most likely to use 3rd Party Apps and thus have left Reddit after all the shit that has happened

          I noticed a huge drop in Quality in the last 2 Days on Reddit (and a rise of Alt-Right bs), lets see how it develops

          For now I feel really comfortable here on Lemmy

      I think there will be a natural constriction and consolidation in communities over the next few months.

      It was almost like a landgrab with all the excitement and people creating communities. A lot of them were similar so they are diluted a bit.

      I think, eventually, we’ll see people gravitate to one or two particular instances of <type of community here> and the other will close or wither.

      I wish some of the Lemmy servers were more intentional about community creation though–to reduce the number of similar communities.

        I get that. I hope you’re right so we can get bigger but fewer communities about the same topic
