Please for anyone reading, just be patient. Keep posting and commenting and it WILL grow. There are only like 1.2 million Lemmy users versus hundreds of millions of redditors.
If you follow the 90-9-1 rule, that leaves very few actual contributors and still Lemmy has a lot of good content daily. Just be patient and it will come.
What’s 90-9-1?
I think its 90% of users lurk, 9% comment, and only 1% create new posts. Or at least something like that
Ah, that makes sense. In my case though, I used to never post on Reddit but on Lemmy I feel good contributing to this community. I hope a lot of the other Reddit refugees who lurked feel the same way
Congrats on your promotion to a 1! You earned it (by posting).

Thanks! It's nice to get a little recognition for putting in the work 😎
Definitely. I am not power user by any means but probably have about as many posts here in the last month as I made in 10 years on Reddit. Maybe more.
Yeah I lurked on Reddit because most responses were either pedantic or laced with sarcasm. I feel like the assholes haven't ingratiated themselves yet.
Where are you seeing 1.2m users? This site says that it tracks all instances and only shows 0.96m users total and 62k users in the past month.
I usually look at FediDB and they show about half that in total users but twice that in active users.
Wow, that’s quite the spread between the two.
I can't find it now. The number that I saw was 1.09 million, but I can't find the site I saw it on now. I think a bunch of them must be purged spam accounts maybe.
Yeah I'm waiting it out and trying to build up my favorite community. I don't really see reddit ever being replaced but that's only because people won't be part of the solution. There are too many people in this world that just don't care.
