Ok , here we go.

I like lemmy a lot.

Mastodon and all the others are too complicated with too many dam options for threads. Not to mention I hate the Twitter layout.

Like look,

I want lemmy to have more users. The lack of engagement here is just beyond sad.

I’ve seen a lot of lemmy instances with like 1 user a month. Seriously? What the fuck?

I’m entertaining a thought to create a lemmy instance, but is there even a point? Should i even bother?

I feel like the issue with these reddit alternatives, is the LACK of content and users.

What do you think?

    You got me curious! Could you share some of your hidden gems of lemmyverse: has <10 subs and posts quality content at least once a month?

      What one consider quality content is very subjective, but one example could be https://exploding-heads.com/c/digitslfreedom with 400+ posts, 6 users per month, 3 per week, 1 per day. 5 posts last 24 hours. 19 subs tbf, but very little activity beyond the occasional upvote.

      NRSK’s own communites like https://nrsk.no/c/norway and https://nrsk.no/c/videos are two other communities who posts largely extraordinarily good content (me practically being the only poster could be relevant to this statement) on a regular basis. Yet the only “significant” growth I’ve seen is directly related to advertising the community by crossposting, mentions and in other ways actively pushing it on others.

      Of course it could be due to most others consider it low quality, but I believe the lack of visibility is a bigger factor.
