I've used Lemmy more in the past 12 hours than I have in the past month since signing up. All because of Sync.

Lemmy Finally feels usable! Thank you LJDawson
You're viewing a single thread.
Sync is great. Lemmy is still lacking content. Shows I watch, bands, etc.. those communities have no activity (if they even exist).
Be the change you want to see.
I gave up on making community content once I lost all my data when Vlemmy died. I know I'm a part of the problem, but it burned me out
There needs to be 100 times the people for any change to manifest. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to convince tens of thousands of people to switch.
Yes you will. It will just happen gradually over a couple years. No one is expecting this to happen overnight.
I am. LET'S GO! 🤣
We're all here already, right?
I actually followed a guy on reddit who shared his phone number with me. I just searched for him on Lemmy and he's not here. texted him to get over here! lol
I'm working on it!
Altho true someone has to be the first of those 100 people. Slowly but surely people will come
But those people have already made the choice and it isn't Lemmy.
And that's fine, if they don't come they don't come. I like Lemmy so imma stay
If they don't come then they will be making communities elsewhere. Which means less relevance for Lemmy.
IDK if we are that far off. Reddit was a lot of fun way before reaching it's peak user base.
Additionally, the highest Lemmy days are seeing something like 25%-50% as many posts as Reddit does on average.
Not at all! Just like with price, the difference between zero and one is hugely more consequential than any extra dollar added. Think of it: if you see a community with no posts in the last hour, or day, it does feel a bit deserted. Or a post without comments. By adding a post, or the first comment, you can be the difference for the next guy's impression, and encourage them to do the same, and then the ball gets rolling, and that's how you get momentum.
Same as Reddit in the beginning, Digg was so strong back in the day.
Niche communities start when the user ase grows quite a lot. Give it time.
My ass is pretty fat already. It doesn't need any more growing.
It will take years before you see more niche communities like that.
