Is it speed? Features? Ease of development? Just curious why lemmy is seeing more activity as opposed to other networks.
minus-square@T156link6•1 year agoProbably luck, really. A bunch of subs moved to Lemmy, first and foremost, which spread its popularity more than other apps, as more subs went and joined up with Lemmy. Alternatives like Kbin followed behind, but since Lemmy had already taken first spot, that was more or less that. You also had a few that were also closed, that hampered their growth, for better and worse.
