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.

DataHoarders

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.

InternetIsBeautiful

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.

        I am calling for the immediate censure of this poster for their anti-Hexbear rhetoric

        I cannot stress enough how true this is because we've uncovered a large chunk of lemmy bugs trying to migrate us over to upstream lemmy because things start to break as you get large amounts of comments (remove comment taking forever) as well as deeply nested comments (we love trans comrades bug). These go under the radar on lemmy because there just isn't enough activity to make these problems noticeable.

        I would say that is partially due to the difference in culture. The posts here are quite different from those on lemmy.

          The post culture here is what sets this site apart as a space worth visiting imo. Usually good vibes too.

            There is an extremely unique posting humor here where sarcasm is always understood and custom emotes develop semantic depth. It feels like hanging with your friends who all have the same general sense of humor.
