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

    I used to be a reddit lurker. I would go into a thread for a post and look for the thing I would have posted, and upvote it.

    I can’t do this on Lemmy, I actually have to write stuff now I guess, otherwise it doesn’t show up. I don’t like it.

    Feels weird man.

      can you exoskeleton this one for me? I don’t get it.

      (autocorrect, just guess what that word was supposed to be)

        Just a joke. I used to just read the comments in reddit threads and be satisfied with the conversations already being had. The subreddits I usually visited were busy enough that I had plenty to read. Rarely did I ever feel like logging in to add something. (I’m also unoriginal, so if I thought of a joke I’d go find it in the reddit thread and upvote it, ha).

        Lemmy has less comments, less to read. But I also don’t pointlessly scroll forever, so I guess that’s probably good.
