It only shows the amount of users from your instance if I remember correctly
Yes that tracks
Explanation: Lemmy is not one server, but a big network of different servers. There might be far more ppl subscribed to one community, but your server can only see the ones that are subscribed and have their account on your server. This is for technical reasons.
no the site just doesnβt have that many users
Man that sucks :(
Letβs make an effort to migrate users from Reddit to Lemmy. Recently, Redditβs user experience have been deteriorating and itβs extremely slow to use
:raises hand:
I came over from Reddit a couple of weeks ago, havenβt logged into it since.
What you say is true; what drove me away ultimately were bad interactions with fascist (in the technical sense, not popular sense) mods.
How active are you on lemmy? What new content do you look at?
Not very (as you can tell from the delay in my reply). I hang out in Mastodon, mostly. But Iβm a responder, not a poster, so my interactions are limited by three amount of content I have to react to.
But thatβs ok. I donβt need a huge social media time sink in my life.
Iβm not subscribed to much yet. I browse the general feed; I tend to add stuff organically, rather than go searching for it.
How is mastodon?
Active.
I donβt know if itβs just older, but thereβs a lot more traffic on Mastodon. Being a Twitter clone, itβs more light material; memes, brief thoughts. People do have conversations, but nothing on the level or depth of Reddit.
Thereβs stuff Iβve posted on Reddit I wouldnβt have posted on Mastodon, if only because of the character limit. But itβs great for little one-offs, pictures, etc.
I donβt understand why it was said Mastodon and Lemmy are not compatible; Iβm using Friendica, Pixelfed, and Mastodon at the same time in Fedilab β itβd be great to use the same tool to access Lemmy.
I spend most of my time in Mastodon, popping into Lemmy occasionally to see whatβs up. Thatβs probably more because thereβs more content at the moment on Mastodon.
