Now it's a matter of sustaining and slow growth. Hopefully. Best thing you can do to see Lemmy succeed is participate: comment, post, doomscroll All+Top Hou ;)

It'll take a while for some of the smaller communities to get critical mass. And that's okay, probably. Critical mass is here for the larger topics already. I'll do my best to help :)

Thank you for sharing this.

Been thinking a lot about the overall extent of content shared and user types involved in growth or just simple involvement.

What is it that we have found about our habits of use with migrating over from Reddit?

  • Fulfillment of niche topics for informative need without commenting or low participation.

  • Trend analysis on subject.

  • Central point of truth or awareness for a subject.

  • Community sense of belonging to subject.

I come to see new things I follow or to look for help on something. I like having somewhat of an aggregated news feed from several news sources.

I comment on things I feel I can contribute to but while typically not when it’s just an informative share. You get an upvote if it qualifies. Kind of like a RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Communicated and Informed) approach.

R - you get a lengthy comment with possible responses.

A - A comment for follow up. With an upvote.

C - upvote and comment potentially usually a thank you

I - upvote as a thanks
