Do you guys see a lot of users in lemmy 'subs' I don't know if I'm using it right

I see 402 users per day in !asklemmy according to the my instance shows me.

Granted that’s going to be one of the biggest ones, but that’s not a small number of people to visit somewhere in a day.

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.

Let’s make an effort to migrate users from Reddit to Lemmy. Recently, Reddit’s user experience have been deteriorating and it’s extremely slow to use

:raises hand:

I came over from Reddit a couple of weeks ago, haven’t 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?

sxan, 1 year ago

Not very (as you can tell from the delay in my reply). I hang out in Mastodon, mostly. But I’m a responder, not a poster, so my interactions are limited by three amount of content I have to react to.

But that’s ok. I don’t need a huge social media time sink in my life.

I’m not subscribed to much yet. I browse the general feed; I tend to add stuff organically, rather than go searching for it.
