    So is Lemmy going to stick? Have daily users gone down? I hate to say I stepped back to Reddit because there just isn’t enough content on Lemmy for my taste yet.

      Well, I’m doing my best to get the !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml community started. Once there is enough activity here, the critical mass becomes self-reinforcing and it takes off.

      And it’s not as if all of Reddit will switch over right away - Twitter is still somewhat alive too; but Mastodon gained enough momentum now to actually matter and to be at a sustainable level.

        That is the logic most people confuse with socially-focused spaces like the fediverse ecosystem. The point is not to create monopolies but to have a diverse information system so no one node controls the flows. Co-existence is the word. The tough bit is to create a space big enough to create healthy information flow without being too big as to monopolize the neighborhood.

      My guess right now is that it won’t be as big as Reddit. I think we’re in an environment where the network effect is so strong that it is extremely difficult for big players to fail. The type of failure and migration we saw from Digg to Reddit doesn’t seem possible now.

      But it might be big enough to be a good replacement for more hardcore users. I personally am using both and Lemmy is maybe 40% of my usage and growing.

        better solution: instead of creating a reddit post in first place, do it on lemmy. this forces over the long haul people to move because the content and community is there.

          True, so how about this: create a Lemmy post, then post the link on Reddit. People eventually get tired of have load a new page every time, and create a Lemmy account

            reddit already banned and killed aubreddits who just explained people how to migrate to kbin and lemmy. so i think if you would do that reddit would just start banning people and prevent us from posting any lemmy links. also most users probably wouldn’t bother even clicking on the link since they want the infos directly without having to do a lot of clicks. so it helps more to recommend lemmy to users in comments etc.
