Lemmy is loosing users - programming.dev

How can we make it more popular?

For the last time, there is no need. We are large enough. 400,000 people is a large town or small city. Remember:

  • There are no investors to please

  • No stock holders to appease

  • No CEO to bootlick

  • No ads to chase

  • No e-peen to contest

  • We are free at last. Free your mind from the tail chase of corporate controlled social media.

    Exactly. This. We’re not trying to get popular.

    Lemmy has a good group. It will ebb and flow. People are finding their groups online. If it’s not here. That’s fine. If you enjoy lemmy. Stay! But we don’t need to grow lol

    I don’t want us to get exactly popular, but I’d like to be big enough where the nice communities can be big and active enough. I still have to go to reddit for those and it is annoying.
