Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source
Sadly, there’s just not a critical mass of users in most of the communities I’m interested in. I pop in here every once in a while to see what’s going on, but it’s currently lacking the diversity of content that you get on Reddit. I’m still rooting for it to succeed.
there were 3-4ish communities on that other site that i was pretty active in that are ghost towns here and there is a zero to none chance that they will migrate over. i still go over there for those communities.
that said, for the mindless amusement/newsanddoom scroll lemmy is fine and i do find myself more active here in the general community. it’s just those niche communities haven’t hit the numbers they need to be self-sustaining.
