      Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.

        Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.

          They will. My experience community building thus far is that if you can build up one anchor community to the point where people are organically sharing content and commenting, other adjacent communities will start to generate the same sorts of things with smaller subscriber bases because that anchor community is keeping people’s eyes here. Just a question of time.

      It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.

    It’s insane how well this timeline syncs with reddit’s API bs!

    From the very first day spez announced the API changes and steadily increasing until most of the 3pa shut down then BAM. Good for Lemmy and hopefully bad for reddit!

    We all need to post this on reddit. Spread the word that this platform is booming and more people will come over!
