Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users - eviltoast

Similar to Mastodon’s spikes last year, it seems. Anyways, there is data to think about. Source

    One thing that bugs me is people asking for/using tools that replicate the look and feel of Reddit instead of learning the ropes. I left Reddit, I don’t want another one. I get it, familiarity is comforting, but when the user base is a fraction of the other platform, no UI or app will ever give you the same experience. I say move on, get out of your comfort zone and participate.

      Amen to that.

      I don’t imagine staying on some site that resembles a drowning wreck, because “I got used to how things work here”.
