With its chaos, self-reference, kindness, and lack of advertisements, Lemmy feels like a community. I feel surrounded by goofy and reflexive friends. Love it! (lemmy.ml)

The one thing I’m really missing is more activity in the comments. I don’t want it to turn into Reddit but I would love a few thousand more active users. I find myself commenting here way more than Reddit to encourage more discussion. Hope it’s working.

A lot of us are consciously being more active here than we ever were on reddit. Over at discord, a few people are actually doing stuff that helps promote lemmy/kbin like listing communities that migrate, helping out new users, etc. It's amazing to see people just working more than they did to make this small community successful. I'm not gonna waste that.

I think it’s just a matter of time. Rome wasn’t build in a day. I would argue that it also took Mastodon years to build a big enough user base and someone special buying Twitter helped Mastodon a lot. Just like Reddit API helped Lemmy. Lemmy had no user base before Reddit API, compared to now.

Reddit will fuck up again and it will again benefit Lemmy.
