Reddit won't die tomorrow, likely won't die for years yet, but Lemmy is very much a viable alternative when it wasn't a shadow half a year ago. It's not a perfect change, but it's something.
Oh, how I wish that were true. Alas, stats keep showing that Lemmy is not continuing to grow, on the contrary. There is close to zero activity in anything but the most main stream communities and Lemmy is only now making very, very slow and tentative steps to actually surface more niche communities after effectively burying and suffocating them in every release up to and including the current stable.
Great news! So glad we're not becoming a mainstream piece of shit
I can't be the only one that more and more sees 'growth' as a disease for a company or institution.
You aren't the only one. I feel like there's some number of users that will ruin lemmy. I don't know what it is, but a guess is if we exceed 10 million it'll get much worse. So I'm good with the (last I heard) ~1 million
