Yes it is. The top 20 fastest growing instances on https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse could be suffering from bot signup. Bit of a bummer.
10,000 users and only 7 posts and a dozen comments: https://lemmy.podycust.co.uk/communities
I also signed up yesterday. This is my very first comment/post. This is all a bit new and ngl - slightly intimidating. I’ll go back to lurking and trying to get a better feel for the whole thing before I participate more.
Edit: To be fair, I wasn’t all that participatory on that OTHER site either. After 12 years, I walked away with (4,528·14,039) on my profile. So don’t expect much lol.
It’s all good, as long as we have actual people here (I was pretty much a hard lurker on reddit as well lol)
I’ve been using reddit since before it supported the ability to leave comments, and I haven’t been back since the 12th, except to see if/where my most-visited subs are migrating and to watch the occasional trainwreck caused by reddit admins stepping on their own dicks.
So far Lemmy/Kbin/etc has been scratching the itch with the bonus of having a better community. I think you’ll be fine here.
