Great to see all this growth and activity in different lemmy instances!
More users does not ALWAYS mean a good thing.
You are correct, but it at least shows that we are attracting more users (albeit, that doesn't mean quality).
I believe its a positive thing though, as it shows that the "normies" are seriously considering alternatives; outside of us niche, nerds here for the tech and the anti-corpo mindset.
Just showed up here. We'll see how long I stay, but hoping this will be my social media fix each morning. If there are enough folks who feel the same, it will be.
I've been using it for about a week now, and it already is.
Of course, there's a handful of subreddits that I miss and feel the urge to go back to every now and then, but I realize that there is enough content on Lemmy to satisfy me during my coffee breaks. And it's enough to keep me from going back.
Well said. A month ago, I couldn't even imagine leaving reddit because there was hardly a viable alternative.
I am decidedly not a niche nerd here for tech reasons. I just got pretty fed up with Reddit and it’s ridiculousness. I’m a 40 year old mom just here to cruise around the internet and find interesting things. So you are correct - the “normies” are starting to look for alternatives!
