What are people using Reddit for? Why does Lemmy have to continue to grow to be a viable alternative? It needs a certain critical mass but it seems to be at that point at least. The number of new users and daily users went down from the first peak after the Reddit exodus but that’s to be expected, what I’ve heard last is the numbers aren’t dropping rapidly but just the usual attrition of the wave of users. From my instance the communities I frequent are more than active enough for me, I’m able to see any news that would be relevant as quickly as any other social media, I can discuss things in communities that feel welcoming to me as a queer socialist that I could hardly find on Reddit.
