Now it’s a matter of sustaining and slow growth. Hopefully. Best thing you can do to see Lemmy succeed is participate: comment, post, doomscroll All+Top Hou ;)
It’ll take a while for some of the smaller communities to get critical mass. And that’s okay, probably. Critical mass is here for the larger topics already. I’ll do my best to help :)
I’ve been pretty happy with the content actually, what do you think is missing?
Not the person you asked, but so far it feels like I see more memes here than I did on Reddit. I don’t see a lot of news, and the communities I was subbed to on Reddit are not active here at all. That includes communities based around running, hiking, nature, and female fashion advice for example.
I hear that, yeah the interest-specific communities haven’t caught up yet for sure. A lot of them have only a handful of posts if they do exist.
Definitely a lot of memes, but I feel like I am seeing a good amount of news though? Actually I feel like reddit was getting to be pretty spotty about news, there were a couple weeks I used both and lemmy consistently showed me the headlines much sooner.
I browse in compact mode on memmy and scroll past the memes usually fwiw, so it may just be a matter of my perception
Nor most of the local/regional communities.
I was on Reddit a lot to see chatter about games I enjoy. The presence of Destiny 2 or Diablo 4 players seems pretty quiet on Lemmy. A lot of game devs are on Reddit and I don’t know how many of them have or will move to another platform.
Porn. Copious amounts of it in particular.
Lol, reddit used to be the same way actually, it was only relatively recently they removed porn from the front page.
There’s a toggle in your profile for it, and apps like Memmy have an additional setting to hide those posts just while you’re browsing the app
