I wanted to call bullshit ~~but they’re entirely right.~~* Comments per day took a nosedive. Now if only more hobby communities would lift off, I’d be able to abandon Reddit entirely. I’m up to my tits in Linux and privacy guides but I still know nothing of mushroom picking. Nothing!
Edit: *some users pointed out that subredditstats is no longer capable of accurately tracking comment numbers. I was wrong.
And that's exactly why lemmy needs to grow its userbase significantly before it can ever become mainstream.
grow sounded nice until you said mainstream.
The beauty of a federated social network, is that even if it becomes mainstream as a whole, there will always be smaller niche instances for us to get away from the big ones on.
