    Reddit is probably the largest potential new user pool for Lemmy, due to the similarities between the two platforms.

    With 50k monthly active users, there are still a lot of communities which rely on one or two posters to keep active. For instance, TV shows are a very popular topic, we are still only one or two regular posters on [email protected].

    We have lost a few regular posters in the last year as well, and some others might get tired to “should into the void”.

    With 500k monthly active users, we would get a dozen regular posters on most communities.

    I dislike Reddit as much as the average Lemmy user, but if we want Lemmy to survive, we have to get more people from there to here.

      One reason why I want more people on here is so that the third-apps can get enough support to establish the same level of polish as Apollo once had. Imagine how much further we can go with the potential of open source.
