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

    It’s a FOMO, bigger is better, kind of thing. I think some people came here looking for a replacement, which can’t happen, instead of looking for a community, which can.

      It’s funny that you say that. Although it’s not I guess replacing Reddit in terms of scale, the browsing experience on Lemmy and that community feeling is actually an improvement for me.

      So, I guess for me Lemmy is a more than adequate replacement. I don’t want all of Reddit here though, I think that would cause a whole lot more problems than it would solve.

      Bigger is better, that’s why I got a big truck on big wheels and only eat corndogs whole while enjoying it a little too much.
