I’ve been here for a while now. The userbase can be seen as an advantage, but it’s also a negative. Things move so fast in reddit and everyone is just passing by each other. You can have actual conversations here though. It feels more communal.
I want more users so niche communities can thrive, but I’m also worried about it becoming too much like Reddit has been for a while now.
Lemmy is not commercial, so the more fundamental problem will be battling bots, hosting, legal issues, and attracting users from sites that burn cash on advertising and entrapment, probably.
The community could get toxic, but it’s not going to be stoked from the top, and it’s more escapable.
I came from reddit due to overt censorship, so yeah. I hope this place gets more populated, reddit definitely has the userbase advantage for now.

Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.
Aren’t we getting fancy! When I moved over after the api changes all we had was potatoes. Lemmy is definitely improving with each new wave.
Also beans. Can we bring back the beans, you know, for the newbies?
You must have been on a fancy server, where I was it was only potatoes.
Welcome!
