Lemmy is not Reddit. It would be weird if 1/100th of the population could recreate Reddit in a week on a different platform.
For now a lot of former Reddit lurkers are going to have to elevate their game and live without the dopamine hits of getting a lot of upvotes and comments on their posts.
90% of the posts I see on the All: Hot have zero comments, 9% have 1 comment, and 1% have 2 or more comments.
This sounds like that bug that causes massive numbers of new posts to show up where they don't belong. When I refresh, most of the posts have multiple comments.
I think you're expecting too much from this thing. The active user base is still growing, but it's a fraction of a fraction of what Reddit is.
Also, If you want your community to be successful, maybe you should be making daily posts in it to try to increase engagement. As Lemmy userbase builds, the people that are looking for a community like yours will find it and gradually begin engaging.
No, Lemmy is not dying. Why do people have to be so hyperbolic all the time.
the real test will be after July 1st which is correlate with Reddit API cut-off
Likely be another temporary surge I fear
yes, after that we can see if Lemmy can have sustainable growth or it is just temporary shelter.
It seems pretty active to me. I use Jerboa and have it default to all/new so I don't expect tons of comments but there are almost always fresh posts. From my experience its pretty lively.
I’m here for the long game and to help grow and hopefully nurture. Maybe in a few years there will be something more substantial, but I’m personally convinced this is the future of social media #threadiverse
