I don't want to come off as preachy, and I love the waves of new users. I'm just concerned about the stability of the Lemmy userbase if the highest commented posts stay "I'm leaving reddit" and "things reddit did" type threads.

This is something I also need to work on aha, but it's really important to be active in topics and activities you're interested in outside being a (potentially former) redditor.

Happy lemming, friends!

topics naturally.

Indeed. Considering it takes some time to find communities and topics (especially more obscure/non-centralized ones and stuff on federated instances), it's gonna take a while for people to settle. But with time people are probably gonna find stuff they like and stay because of them
