The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn’t quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.
definitely, I find absolutely nothing on Z-library and other important areas - I bet TOR, LMDE, Mint, Debian are absent.
favrion, 
I have no idea what any of those things are.
mojo, The community here is already 100x better then anyone I’ve communicated with on Reddit
favrion, Agreed.
LittleBoBanny, I once saw Yo-Yo Ma perform at a Borders book store in Boston.
jtablerd, allow me to introduce you to lemmy.world/c/tonightsdinner it’s pretty much that except playing in the empty back room of the library - cooks come and post please
favrion, I don’t cook but I’ll support your cause.
flaccid_girth, I’m kind of enjoying the smaller community size. Unlike reddit where I’d come across a post that I have something interesting to say about and see there are already 27,481 comments.
kanzalibrary, Yes, Reddit feels more like information overload platform to me, even ur limit it with subscribe page only.
ItsMeSpez, It certainly has it’s ups and downs. It’s nice having smaller communities as it really helps having more congenial conversations, but I do miss the larger user base sometimes, since it ensures more coverage of a given topic.
Blastoid5000, Or that topic is covered in general.
netvor, 
IDK but if, say, Motörhead came to a 50 seat library in some small town it would be kinda cute and would make the library famous, and it would make all other libraries envy them in a good way.
Edit: just learned that Lemmy died 8 years ago. Just imagine I said Imagine Dragons or something…
favrion, I will imagine Imagine Dragons.
atx_aquarian, 
Just imagine I said Imagine Dragons or something…
But they’re not Lemmy. :-\
Tangent5280, Small communities and slow content feeds are fine for me I think. Either way I’m glad I’m here to witness this liminal period.
favrion, 👍
drasticpotatoes,
cerevant, …the other 50 who showed up had to stand in the hall or not get in at all. They said the venue sucks and left.
favrion, Why is that?
cerevant, A lot of people ran into signup and login issues over the last few weeks and just bailed.
favrion, (edited ) “The system overwhelmed by this influx of new users is experiencing problems that make it take more than three seconds to get something done. Bye.”
cerevant, WTF, I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been trying to help frustrated people on /r/Lemmy and /r/Redditalternatives. What have you done to help?
pewgar_seemsimandroid, i personally am surprised you got past the lemmy.world captcha
favrion, Lol, I was imitating the people who left after two seconds because of the problems.
favrion, Edit: added quotation marks for clarification
atx_aquarian, It was a natural filter. Good for the community quality, possibly.
MargotRobbie, 
Or like if an A-list Hollywood actress suddenly started marketing her new summer blockbuster on a small forum of mostly tech workers.
Sure makes you think.
MargotRobbie, Guess we’ll never know why Tara Reid did a reddit AMA in 2015 just to market “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” now.
Dinodicchellathicc, 
Memory unlocked. I saw that ama and also watched the movie. So the marketing worked on a tard like me.
MargotRobbie, Did the movie promotion campaign by a certain Academy Award nominated marketing genius before the actor’s strike also work on you then?
pewgar_seemsimandroid, BLAHAJ TORADO?
ccunix, When Bush were at the height of their success, I saw them in a little 300 person room. It was brilliant and we should appreciate Lemmy while it is in that state.
favrion, Wow, what an amazing privilege.
crunchpaste, 
You’re talking about Kate Bush, right?
ccunix, No, rock band Bush.
tehcpengsiudai, The loudest band so far seems to be the “memes” band.
dudebro, Fuckin hate memes.
itadakimasu, 
Too many god damned memes
entropicdrift, 
They’re coarse and grainy and they get everywhere
ICastFist, 
You should try shorts. They’re comfy and easy to wear.
mosiacmango, Just like reddit in 2010.
Memes, racism and jailbait built reddit, but we have smartly avoided most of the latter two so far.
sabaku_no_gaara, They aren’t good too
All of them very low effort and unfunny
Famko, Beans.
Laugh.
pewgar_seemsimandroid, BOLD
kersploosh, 
Enjoy the intimate atmosphere while it last. The hordes will find us eventually.
dudebro, You can always have your own universe within the fediverse.
YoBuckStopsHere, 
That is good since we are all beta testing the site and developing tools to manage everything before the real migration occurs.
elbarto777, Real migration? Who would be migrating? The 90% we left behind?
No, thank you.
YoBuckStopsHere, Eventually more will come.
Kolanaki, 
Can we gate keep the riffraff out? For once?
nix, 
The more the merrier. I want the doctors from askdocs and the historians and the eli5 people and the lawyers from legaladvice etc etc to be here too. Currently it’s mainly us tech nerds who understand how the fediverse works. Which is nice at times but having a wide range of nerds from many fields would be great
elbarto777, Ah, when you put it this way, it makes sense.
I just don’t wante the usual pokemon or sponge bob memes flooding the fediverse.
shagie, You might want to double check the amount of Sponge Bob on !memes - its already there in abundance.
elbarto777, Well, shit!
dudebro, The more the merrier.
You can move to smaller universes if that’s what you see fit.
elbarto777, No, in this case, the more is not the merrier. Otherwise you end up with the reddit shitshow.
dudebro, You can choose to be on smaller instances that only federate with smaller instances.
Having more people gives us more options.
elbarto777, Fair enough.
200ok,
favrion, True, but since it’s about the Fediverse and Lemmy, this was a better fit.
200ok, For sure! Just sharing a community you can cross-post to, or inspire others to subscribe to if they like this type of post.
