I think that's normal. People will try out Lemmy but if they notice that the communities they frequent doesn't have a lot of content they'll just leave back to reddit.
We can hope for organic growth but it'll take a long time (especially with how big reddit is)
Yeah same, most communities i frequent on Reddit haven’t transitioned yet or is still tiny so I kinda juggle between the two apps.
Lemmy is nice for tech and nerdy subreddits but that’s pretty much it rnow
Exactly, pushing people away is not how you grow a platform
Like, what happened to just downvoting low effort or low “quality” posts? Do we have to pass IQ tests to allow users on Lemmy now?
True, Facebook is already in hot waters with EU because of privacy laws, it's no wonder that they're scared of launching Threads there.
Threads isn’t yet running in the EU - and it might never run, as the bloc has stricter privacy rules than most other countries, and it has given Meta a few headaches to cope with in recent years. It’s not the EU that blocked the launch of the app, rather it’s Meta who’s being preemptively careful.
Basically Meta is unsure if EU privacy law will allow them to keep functioning so they just decided to not launch there
Ya pretty much double-edge sword
On one hand, Instagram users can bring a ton of content, which "should" be good for the overall website
On the other, it's Meta lol
Lowkey it's pretty garbage lol.
But it's by Facebook and a lot of people are already joining it. I feel like if anyone can compete with twitter it'll be them (even though I genuinely despite Zuck)
From what I understand, hot is supposed to be like Reddit where they show up posts that are gaining traction in the day.
But yeah it's pretty buggy right now, been seeing a lot of old posts too
Ya agreed, I wish YouTube would've just pushed it as another app instead of forcing it down the main YouTube users throats.
Like, I don't even mind short tiktok like videos, but yeah I don't go on youtube for that
looks like there's very few changes aside from the spec bump and some extra lights on the back.
Yess finally I loved sync for reddit. Can't wait to use this
