I was first introduced to Lemmy during Reddit's API fiasco back in 2023, and this exact type of post was made back then too where the entire community is held up by a very small numbers of users who post excessively. That means in 3 years, this platform hasn't grown at all. It's still stuck as a niche that most people either avoid or don't care about.

A huuuuge thank you also to @anon6789@lemmy.world for all these superbowls! Your posts are a true blessing!
For me, ever since I’ve been here, all those adorable owls have always been a symbol of what’s wonderful about Lemmy.
Sure, the volume might be less, but the quality doesn't falter.
I left Reddit for you, and no regrets.
Hey, I try to argue with at least one person a day on here! I'm doing my part
no you aren't
oh yeah? I argue with two.
Yeah? Fuck both of you.
i dont post memes but i hope i am helping
HEROES!!
Totallynotjessica, ickplant, ladybutterfly, stamets make lemmy for me. Always posting so much good stuff.
Shoutout to mia lately, violet when shes on a spree, and erotador even though shes less active now.

Aww, thank you for the kind words.
That's really nice to hear thanks 😊
while Lemmy scratches my post reddit itch, this is one of the down sides. Everyone goes to Reddit, despite it being an AI Bot filled shit show, so you never get the same visibility. At least around here you get a better quality of poster, and you don't need to select your words quite as much.

Search engines direct you to Reddit as a first page - even first result - choice. It's superceded Wikipedia in a lot of cases.
Which tells you organic human generated content is increasingly rare and here we are probably the last unpolluted corners of the human experience outside the non-online local experiences.

:-/ I seriously doubt that.
At some point, we'll have to find a better way of sifting the wheat from the shit. But I'd be crazy to assume bots around bouncing around the Lemmiverse pushing misinformation just like they are everywhere else.
That’s the worst part of Reddit. The absolute toxicity and superiority complex you see in these giant subreddits. 1 wrong word and everyone comes after you based on 1000 assumptions from that 1 word.
You are most welcome. Big love to my fellow comrades @the_picard_maneuver@lemmy.world @pugjesus@lemmy.cafe @stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Uh, oh, don't forget @anon6789@lemmy.world with all the superbowls
Lemmy has given to me, I give to Lemmy! 🦉
anon mate I can't believe i forgot you! Thank you for the superb owls
That’s what a true hero would say! Thank you so, so much!
I just mentioned you again since I made a typo at first and wasn’t sure if the mention would still work after I edited it. But it worked out—hey, better safe than sorry: credit where credit is due!
First time scrolling this morning and I went to like this before realizing I already liked it from last night before bed...
Probably my larger issue with Lemmy as a whole. I work a job that has a lot of downtime but loud environments so my ADHD ass likes to just read content and comments since I need to pay attention to the noise around me. Then I get home and watch some TV or sports on my PC's second monitor while I want to scroll content and comments (Been a forum user since I was 8 years old) and the repetition here can get a little off putting.
Don't get me wrong I love it here. Beats Reddit. But still...
I quite like that it's not an infinite firehouse of content - it means a limit to how much time I waste, unlike my Reddit days when I'd often block the site so I could get something done.
I don't do memes, but I provide lots of animal pics. Mostly Sandy the Federiverse Horse and more recently, Broccoli Cheddar the Barn Cat
A fitting meme template:

I think there's a rule that this needs to be posted every 6 months
RemindMe! 6 months
Dont know if we have those fancy remind me bots yet.
RemindMe! 3 months
