I know we are temporarily non-lemmy, but we will reunite soon. Here's some relevant :reddit-logo: comments:
The lemmyverse currently has 54 instances, and 1.2K monthly active users.
Yeah, with numbers like that they're going to need to get the word out a whole lot more.
As of the writing of this post, we have 425 people online, which is pretty typical.
Thousands??? Last I checked Lemmy had 460 monthly users. That means a large majority of those "communities" don't really exist. With that few people, even 1 "community" is going to be looking mighty dead.
Mastadon has 10 million users and people still complain about how dead it is. Lemmy and their 460 users?? LOL.
I can't figure out why it keeps being brought up. It would crumble under any amount of real traffic. Best I can figure is all 460 of their users are shilling on reddit.
There's a bunch more but I'm not really trying to make any point besides, "huh, look at that" so I will not put in any more effort.
The upgraded software puts federation on the table, but that will have to be a community decision. I don't particularly mind one way or another.
It might not be a bad idea to wait and see how Lemmy copes with the Redditors.
Well with our relative sizes of userbase, a wait and see approach is an option, but it isn't a neutral one. If we join we could affect the outcome
