    Yes but as someone who likes to comment and participate, you can probably surmise that your enjoyment might be increased if there is more people commenting and participating.

    For new users who have no idea what Lemmy is and how it might differ from Reddit, I think it’s a fairly safe assumption that posts from lemmit are literally referring those users back to reddit.

    The lack of hard data is not a good reason not to defederate from lemmit. When weighing most decisions in life we do not have hard data. We do not have hard data supporting the use of bots from lemmit.

      Yep, and at that point we’re talking about a dynamical system. It will grow if it becomes appealing to more than one user per user added. It will have to do so for several years at least before something like r/okaybuddyphd can self-sustain. Until then…

      Or a good reason to do so. I default back to theory and anecdote, then, and this is where I arrive.
