Like ok

For every lemmy ‘sub’ there’s like 1 or 2 users maybe 25 at most.

Am i doing something wrong?

      Yes that tracks

      Explanation: Lemmy is not one server, but a big network of different servers. There might be far more ppl subscribed to one community, but your server can only see the ones that are subscribed and have their account on your server. This is for technical reasons.

    I see 402 users per day in [email protected] according to the my instance shows me.

    Granted that’s going to be one of the biggest ones, but that’s not a small number of people to visit somewhere in a day.

        Let’s make an effort to migrate users from Reddit to Lemmy. Recently, Reddit’s user experience have been deteriorating and it’s extremely slow to use

          :raises hand:

          I came over from Reddit a couple of weeks ago, haven’t logged into it since.

          What you say is true; what drove me away ultimately were bad interactions with fascist (in the technical sense, not popular sense) mods.

              Not very (as you can tell from the delay in my reply). I hang out in Mastodon, mostly. But I’m a responder, not a poster, so my interactions are limited by three amount of content I have to react to.

              But that’s ok. I don’t need a huge social media time sink in my life.

              I’m not subscribed to much yet. I browse the general feed; I tend to add stuff organically, rather than go searching for it.

                  Active.

                  I don’t know if it’s just older, but there’s a lot more traffic on Mastodon. Being a Twitter clone, it’s more light material; memes, brief thoughts. People do have conversations, but nothing on the level or depth of Reddit.

                  There’s stuff I’ve posted on Reddit I wouldn’t have posted on Mastodon, if only because of the character limit. But it’s great for little one-offs, pictures, etc.

                  I don’t understand why it was said Mastodon and Lemmy are not compatible; I’m using Friendica, Pixelfed, and Mastodon at the same time in Fedilab – it’d be great to use the same tool to access Lemmy.

                  I spend most of my time in Mastodon, popping into Lemmy occasionally to see what’s up. That’s probably more because there’s more content at the moment on Mastodon.
