    I know it’s not the full truth(maybe?) but I feel like we’re not attracting the worst kind.

    And you know what?

    One and a half million people, I can work with that. I know it’s not going to stay that number but it’s seriously enough for anyone, except some soul-less megacotp ofc.

    Yay! I love it!

      Also I am very much impressed how much content this small number of users can generate.

          But I thought that was the excuse we were using for why Reddit still has lots of users?

          Not attacking you, just pointing out the ludicrousness of everyone saying that all of Reddits accounts are bots when Lemmy is full of them as well.

            99% of posts on Lemmy only ever see a comment from that annoying arse tldr bot.

            That bot alone is probably the most active Lemmy account around.

              I turned off the ability to see bot accounts in my lemmy setting and it has vastly improved my experience

                  I did it on the web page

                  So I go to lemm.ee the website then go to all my account settings from (I think) that little hamburger menu

                  then where there’s all the checkboxes one will say “show bot accounts” and just uncheck that

                  I browse exclusively on mobile and both on Avelon and Memmy I haven’t seen bot posts. Comments it’s a coin flip imo

        It’s not the size of the fanbase, but the quality of its media and the community of its users.

      TBF explodingheads and lemmygrad exist.

        I personally believe that communites such as lemmygrad and people like the main developer are driving people away from lemmy

        It’s like that saying “better be alone than badly accompanied” (mieux vaut être seul que mal accompagné).

        If alone is lingering with 1.5 million people who share at least something with you… I’m okay with that.
