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.

People who upvote and leave comments also hold up the fediverse!

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.

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.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

Aww, thank you for the kind words.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 11 points 1 day ago

That's really nice to hear thanks 😊

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

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 It's superceded Wikipedia in a lot of cases.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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago

:-/ 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.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 1 points 38 minutes ago (2 children)

Lemmy has given to me, I give to Lemmy! 🦉

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 27 minutes ago

anon mate I can't believe i forgot you! Thank you for the superb owls

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 2 points 32 minutes ago* (last edited 30 minutes ago)

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...

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

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...

[–] Deebster@infosec.pub 5 points 11 hours ago

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.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

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
