Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?
minus-square@nbafantest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink13•2 years agoReddit got massive because it had very vibrant communities and lots of them that inspired a loyalty in its uses. I was brought to Reddit by a previous user, and I brought several of my friends to Reddit. For lemmy to get there, you need thousands of communities. Want to know stuff about Rav4? There’s a sub for it. Want to know about accounting? There’s a sub for it? Want to know about what’s happening in Oklahoma city? There’s a sub. Lemmy isn’t anywhere close to this point. In fact most subs are very dead.
minus-square@Dark_Blade@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•2 years agoReddit didn’t start out like that either. If Lemmy is to grow, it will take years of dedicated active use from us.
