That’s good. A lot of communities have been slowly dying 🫤 I’ve been using Mastodon more and more but it’s not the same.

I’ve noticed that there seems to be a lot of activity, enough to replace Reddit, on the most popular communities and instances. Even my more niche communities such as !fantasyfootball has had more activity lately. Although the niche ones have a way to go to be replacements for their counterparts on Reddit

Only a matter of time before reddit fucks up again, so we better get the good places before the second wave of migration

They keep a/b testing and rolling out worse and worse mobile websites. They’ve gone and done it again. For any regular mobile website user that wasn’t affected by the 3rd party app issue, or for anyone who switched from a 3rd party app to the website because it wasn’t as bad as the 1st party app, well… Now it is. Now it’s possibly worse.

So, we might hope for a prolonged period of organic growth now. Especially if Lemmy doesn’t get flooded with meta discussions again.

I’m glad to see this. I was mostly a lurker at the old place for over 10 years.

Creating posts and commenting at times was difficult and often they were deleted due to some rule or issue. The worst was when users would message to let me know the post had been deleted and they knew due to some other form of the site they were using.

In all my years of managing Forums before this period it wasn’t that hard to create new topics and participate so I gave up.

I started lurking here at Lemmy then starting seeing this theme about user engagement going down and not enough content. When I would end up back at the old place after a Google search on something I could see the volume number differences between lemmy and there so I decided to try posting again.

So far it’s been a lot easier especially in sh1tposting. I did run into a couple of hiccups but overall it’s been a lot easier.

I’ll enjoy it while it lasts as over time with more users things will change, at least for now the posts are not drowning in comments by the thousands yet. I can keep up with that. It kind of reminds me of my old forum days in the early 2000s.

Upwards and onwards!

We must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!
