    The jump in posts over the last month is incredible. I find Lemmy quickly replacing Reddit which is great.

      Not just number but quality. It was all memes at the start, now actual conversation is happening in more than just a few posts.

        Good point! I’m hoping for some of the more niche communities to start becoming more active. Things are trending in the right direction though.

          I’m usually a lurker, but I decided to just go ahead and make one that I was missing. Something about personally wanting Lemmy to grow is motivating to me.

          I made an XCOM community on Lemmy.world, and even though I’m the only one posting so far, it’s fun to watch the subscriber count grow. Already at 50!

        You need both though. Memes and shitposts to scroll though and chuckle, and then quality stuff to engage on. Lemmys got that, and the momentum will keep it growing.

        I tried lemmy like a year or so ago, and it felt so stale. The technology is there, but the content just wasn’t. That’s clearly changed now. 😊

      It just definitely needed to hit a critical mass. Enough that people had enough to read, stick around, and post themselves. Which in turn created a place that new people felt had enough content.
