MODERATORS
If you see 10 posts monthly, you're probably just subscribed to very inactive communities. Personally I don't really see the need for Lemmy to become as big as reddit though. When you get hundreds of posts a minute, individual voices get pretty much drowned out. If we can sustain a smaller, but less toxic, community than reddit, I think that's preferrable. By which I don't mean that there isn't room for growth still, there definitely is, especially for some of the smaller, more specialized communities.
Honestly, I never fail to be astounded how promptly I have responses. I'd almost describe it as legendary. Very satisfied with what we're able to accomplish with our much smaller user base
We're always watching.
Our numbers are relatively small, but there are a disproportionate number of internet fanatics. I thought I was terminally online but I have to say I've been thoroughly outclassed in that department by some of my fellow Lemmings.
It's good but it's also something we need to keep in mind as we grow and try to recruit users that are less digitally minded.
God bless em, doe
I think it's simply because there's less white noise trahing over everything so more proper posts are visible and as there's less toxicity people are more confident to comment on Lemmy.
Long may it continue.
