There's tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.

Same here. I mostly hung out in smaller, hobby subreddits. And the few I've found here are mostly dead. I really want to nerd-out with other people about shit nobody else cares about

Are you making any sort of posts in those "mostly dead" communities? There might be more people looking to join but had the same thought as you. Even a quick hello post could help a lot.

Fair point. I am not.

These communities takes years to form. Lemmy will most likely die out before they come.

What makes you think Lemmy would die that quick?

[–] DrDickHandler 1 points 1 year ago

Reddit isn't going anywhere. Chances are very likely that Lemmy's growth will just plateau and stall once all this blows over. As mentioned frequently here, Lemmy's lack of accessibility and ease of use will prevent many from joining.

Lemmy existed years before now. It will exist for many more.
