We need more variety here, the sub had sooo much more content. I like what’s here so far but damn we need more dank memes and less saccharine shit. Is this because we can’t post memes?
You’ve got to remember that forums are like 90% lurkers, the reason the old sub was so nice is that there were 150 000 users with about 10 000 of them terminally online. If you sort by new the amount of posts is actually pretty good (we have more posts than users atm) but the engagement/upvotes is low compared to the sub as we only have 4000 users atm compared to 150 000 on the sub. It will get better with time when more people join, federation with the different Lemmy instances is implemented and the mobile app comes out. What you can do in the meantime is post and upvote the content you would like to see here.
The crucial thing is maintaining momentum. The moment we stop posting, people will stop coming, and we will enter a death spiral.
Yeah our user growth chart should look like a COVID 19 case chart in the US in a best case scenario.
Up then stable, then up again? Yeah I’d settle for that.
I’m more worried it’ll look like China’s.
Because nobody likes my posts enough.
Am I one of those 5 posters?
You need to sub to more communities. Hot for me has one user twice, everyone else is unique. Unless you are talking about turnover in which case it’s night time for europe and the east coast so I would expect a lull.
