A week ago I was all excited… It looked like we had momentum. I even created a few local communities and the people came. Fast forward to today: my local communities are dead (no posts in many days) and 90% of the posts I see on the All: Hot have zero comments, 9% have 1 comment, and 1% have 2 or more comments. Despite the news of “2M active users and growing”.
The only posts that have lots of comments are talking about Lemmy itself or the “Reddit implosion”.
It’s frustrating
the real test will be after July 1st which is correlate with Reddit API cut-off
Likely be another temporary surge I fear
yes, after that we can see if Lemmy can have sustainable growth or it is just temporary shelter.
