I’m really hoping the Lemmy community reaches its potential! But to achieve that, I realize it’s important to contribute to the content. As a chronic Reddit lurker, I’m going to do my best to comment and post to help this platform grow. It’s hard to break the habit of being a creepy voyeur after 10 years. Wish me luck!
Welcome the circus. I read an interesting post that said Reddit has the bulk of the users for this type of social media, but the users who add value and post etc. are the ones you need. The users Lemmy needs to attract are not the crowd that lurks. It’s the crowd that posts and adds value. That is a much smaller group of users.
I wonder if Reddit hasn’t already started losing them. The post quality has dropped a bit and some of the comments are so confusing that it’s hard not to think they’re AI generated. They’re just nonsense.
