Not that I'm any sort of gospel to be taken seriously or anything ... not really, my point was about focusing on this place doing well rather than focusing on reddit losing or dying, in part because Reddit may not die any time soon. Or it might but not pass all of its users onto the fediverse. But yea ... if the quality of people, culture and, slowly but surely, features, not least of which being the whole FOSS, non-profit decentralised freedom thing, people will surely come just as they have with mastodon.
There are people on Mastodon?
There a LOT more people on Mastodon than there are people using Lemmy.
My Mastodon feed averages one post every two or three days.
You’re doing it wrong.
Three people I followed on Twitter made the move. Two of them eventually moved back. Everyone else stayed. That's where the discussion is.
Mastodon is what you make of it. It doesn’t do the work of filling your feed for you. Less convenient, but you get to see what you want to see, not what someone else thinks you might want.
What I want to see is still hanging out on Twitter.
