Then advertise and market lemmy. Not by literally going on the street with cart boards “use lemmy Plox”, like even sending a link from Lemmy makes Someone question “why everybody is into Lemmy lately? What is it?

That’s how I found out about Reddit anyways. Don’t underestimate word of mouth.

Oh I have been… or was. Then threads came along lol.

But yeah I want to see Lemmy succeed… I love the Memmy app.

Threads is not a direct threat to Lemmy and never will be. Neither Fedverse. The whole point is that it’s like in the old days, decentralized. You don’t like one server? You go to another. Or you make your own. And big communities will always exist that will want to fuck with whoever opposes basic standards. Just like what happened with Spez/Reddit

Threads came and is already on its way out. Lemmy is here to stay.

Threads lol. Maybe try Facebook, I hear they even have games!

lol it was something new. It’s already filling up with spam and political garbage. Didn’t take long. Why I’m back to see how Lemmy is doing. I love Lemmy and want to see it explode!
