I am fine with the place settling for a bit. It would suck if this place was as big as other sites are overnight. I want to watch this place grow over time

Natural, healthy, positive growth! Not growth for growths sake
Yes! Enough of the "I'm doing my part meme" that isn't even real content.
Yeah, my main problem so far has been finding communities actually worth following/joining/contributing to.
If suddenly tons of average people join, they won't really find communities, they'll deem that their analysis of Lemmy, and leave with tiny chances of a second chance. It'll just boom and bust in it's current state. Most people aren't interested in starting or growing a small community.
Meanwhile, if we stay at this size for a while, communities may form/grow, and as people trickle in, they'll grow bit by bit.
Commenting so I have commented in July.
That is probably my fault, I'm cursed and the moment I ever join any organization or community, something invariably always happens.
Ah well...
Se you guys on..
on...
uhh, Lemmy?
R.I.P Lemmy, probably my fault 😢
Well, I deleted my account, so there is no going back to reddit. Also discussions here seem better for me for some reason.
Chill man. Even my activity is dropping now, but that's just me thinking that Lemmy will be self-sufficient while I read my books. It's true that Lemmy is not as addicting as reddit, but that's for the best. I've actually gotten into new hobbies whose communities I might eventually join here.
Bot purge or server issues?
There was a post the other day about other lemmy servers that had thousands of inactive users. The OP contacted the admins of those servers to let them know and several admins did purge a load of accounts.
People were pushing for everyone to comment at least once a day so all the lurkers were counted as active users. It's a little bit of ~~The Pot Roast Principle ~~ at this point.
Edit Ok, so don't just pick the first link off Google folks. That got weird fast. Have this Less insane version instead.
Ah I see you work in my work places wage and bonus calculation department.
Buh....But I like it here. No toxicity and genuine discussions. Also fuck u/spez.
I honestly was worried about our growth maybe 3 weeks ago... It seemed there was a boom and then sort of an exhale after that initial rush in early June. However I'm subbed to about 130 communities. My feed is nice and busy where I couldn't even chance to see all the content. I can look through my sub list (LemmyTools addon plug) and catch up on some comms I missed in my feed. It's going great now as we are seeing steadily more upvoted posts (in the ks) now. Memes are off the charts. Tech and News seems to be hot. Im not super stitious well, maybe a little situous but I think things are going well and seeing a good base here form.
There will need to be some sort of stale/abandoned community cleanup or filter eventually though.
As a cheapskate selfhoster who can only afford a few gigabytes of storage, It may come to a point where 30GB would not be enough to host the entire post history of the lemmy fediverse once user activity rises, and only those with deep pockets would be able to host archives of lemmy posts, just like usenet servers.
For me it still feels a lot more silent than in the old reddit world. Nonetheless I enjoy the content here more than I did in the end of using reddit 🤷♂️
I personally miss understood the fedivers and had multiple accounts on different instances. Currently I am only using one. I guess that is part of the dip.
I liked Lemmy a little bit more before the July 1st influx. Not because of the people, but because there is now more ‘popular’ content that has resulted in less niche content. I’ve subscribed to so many communities that I don’t even see comments from many of the smaller ones because the larger ones dominate the feed.
What's with this meme format having repeated words at the end of the first line and beginning of the second. It happens so frequently it surely can't just be inattention.
Quality content over quantity
Aw man, and I just got here!
Ooh no!
Anyways....
