Can we please stop with all the posts about reddit? Jesus christ you guys it's a website, not your crazy ex. Lemmy is never going to surpass reddit in popularity when the only thing on the frontpage besides beans is "reddit this, reddit that".

[–] Anonymous0573 28 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Honestly, I'm really trying to like Lemmy. I feel like none of the good communities came over here, just the one's you mindlessly scroll through. I just looked for a fitness community yesterday and the one i found had like 5 posts. There is basically no communities for any of my hobbies. It seems like most people stayed on Reddit, except for the techy people. It's a shame because I really want to support the idea of federation and I do like the website.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Be the change you want to see. There are probably other people looking for those coversations, but see low engagement and move on. The more you post the more attractive it makes the community for other people.

I have also found that even if there are fewer comments, other people tend to respond and have more discussions.

I do have alot of hope that well see the community continue to grow & hopefully more activity as people search out reddit alternatives.

it's only been like a week, people will come

[–] ilex 5 points 1 year ago

It's been three since the exodus became measurable. And it is markedly better.

[–] Brandon658 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you build it they will come.

[–] ilex 1 points 1 year ago

I heard that same advice about The Bunny Bar down the street, and you know what? They were right!

[–] _bug0ut 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The endless scrolling communities are the easiest to move. They're low hanging fruit. One of the other replies to you here nailed it... without a massive community of millions, the future of Lemmy rests on the more modestly sized community here willing to actually come out of their lurk and not just respond to posts, but to start posts on their own and actually drive the content.

I feel the same way about music production-related communities here. I just don't have much to ask and I suck pretty badly at it so I don't feel like I'm good enough to drive content/discussions lol

music production-related communities here.

Probably not what you mean, but if you wanna start doing anything, I've got a com specifically for sheet music and tabs, and God Almighty does it blow. It could use a fresh insight.

[–] _bug0ut 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm one of the unwashed, ignorant music production hobbyists who can't play a lick of anything on an actual instrument, and certainly can't read sheet music (I figured out tablature a long time ago when I was trying to teach myself guitar and have forgotten since). I can noodle around on a 25-key MIDI keyboard well enough - like I have a good handle on the patterns for different keys and scales on the keyboard, but I can't actually play. I'd take you up on the invite, otherwise.

[–] ilex 2 points 1 year ago

Check out some of the yellow mandolin tabs. The way I've been doing it is a matching game and MSpaint.

[–] crazycanadianloon 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I initially had the same lament, but since we're early adopters of this tech, it really is on us to build the communities here. If you want to discuss something, just post a thread. Even if no one replies right away, as people start coming they will start engaging with posts that are already there.

[–] Weirdfish 2 points 1 year ago

That's a fair point, I noticed if I open baconreader, I can still see my subscribed sub list. I need to learn how to make subs on here, and as you suggest, either find them, or get off my ass and make them myself.

On a nice side note, being an early adopter, I was able to get my username back without some damned number stapled on the end.

[–] Chriszz 8 points 1 year ago

Which fitness subreddits need growth? I have arrived.

[–] Anders429 5 points 1 year ago

The only real community I saw that migrated was r/piracy. Otherwise, I've experienced basically the same thing you have.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Even from 3 weeks ago, this place has grown hand over fist. Just give it a few more weeks and it'll be pretty much new Reddit.
