Absolutely floored at how active this instance & community is. It's like I never left Reddit.

Cheers!!

Lemmy is pretty cool but I'll have to admit the overall user base is too small for now. Don't get me wrong I want this to replace reddit but there simply isn't enough communities to fill every niche like reddit. The communities that fill a specific niche that I am subscribed to on here have less than 100 users.

[–] MdRuckus@mastodon.world 5 points 1 year ago

@User17w9a @Clipboards I disagree. Are you looking at all communities or just lemmy.world? As long as you are looking across the fediverse there are plenty, in fact, way more than reddit.

The number of subscribers you see in an app or in the web shows subscribed from your instance only. The real number of subscribers can be much bigger. But yes, it is not even close to Reddit scale and coverage.

[–] ijeff@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

Which subs? A lot of subreddits I used to enjoy are now just a shell of what they once were.

It really depends on your interests. If you like Linux, Android, or some leftist topics, Lemmy is quite good. But most other fields are still lacking
