Be the change you want to see.

You thought they were the leaders. They’re the followers, staying near the crowd.

Building communities is hard and takes time.

Checkmate!

That is a fair point and something I was thinking about. The heading definitely threw me off that path “average lemmy posts per day”. With that. it would be around 1/30th, but considering activity was low at the start of the month and higher by the end, it would be hard to get accurate numbers for that. The average went up 30k in 1 day to yesterday. 30k a day, is 900k total. Which makes this all the more confusing… :)

Another thought I had was some of the Active posts here get around 1.5k to 2k upvotes. Often on reddit, that is around 20-30k. So Lemmy could be around a 10th of that size.

Potentially in terms of activity, there is the passive consumption side of reddit (which is massive), and the active contributor side. Even if Lemmy is doing well in terms of the active contributor side, that is very useful to draw in the passive consumers. Potentially many want something known and trusted and maybe are less tech savvy. They may follow good content.

Here here! For all it’s weaknesses, I’m learning to love Lemmy and it’s strengths.

It couldn’t be collusion, could it?

Imagine getting schooled on his to run your social media compant by Elon Musk…

Elon says a lot, occasionally it isn’t out of his arse.
