I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

“The problem isn’t corporate, the problem is audience size.”
Shut the fuck up about this.
Lemmy isn’t anything right now. No impact or relevance, no practical effect in terms of community and influence. It’s just small conversations and mild entertainment.
If you enjoy that, go ahead. But don’t campaign to hold the whole fediverse project back.
Just get together in a niche instance with your small town types and defederate if the project successfully becomes a full fledged alternative. The Internet needs a successful full scale alternative to corporate social media to have a chance at recovery from enshittification.
Both of you can be correct. Some communities (e.g. technical subjects like photography, self hosting, etc.) can work well at lower numbers. Some others might be more social were numbers might allow more organic interactions.
Here like Reddit, the best experience is achieved by trying to find the ones you are interested in and following them. It is more apparent here I think since there is not as much content.
Yeah, the issues I have with it it’s that the whole project is pointless if we intentionally stop short of dethroning corporate social media.
It’s not a campaign, its an observation based on whats come before. It’ll come for lemmy the same as it did for reddit.
I’ll adapt as it grows like before, but the fact remains that online communities are at their best when it isnt 3 million subscribers shouting over each other. On the flip side, 3 million users would likely spawn enough interest for super niche communities to self sustain themselves. The broad interest communities though, those will become just like reddit is now.
No it’s not a campaign but it’s a sizable unorganized proportion of Lemmy who wants to argue for soft isolationism and little to to outreach, recruiting and general onboarding/accessibility reworks that would make Lemmy too easy to understand and join.
