I don't know, I was there in the beginning. I think it died because it had no real content, compared to reddit. And, all anyone talked about was reddit, or reposted stuff from reddit, just like we're seeing here. I think this might stick a bit better because reddit is way bigger than it was back then, so even if the same super small % of users came over, it would still be quite a bit more content.

For comparison of how negligible all the Lemmy fediverse is, there are ~40k active users this month. Reddit has over 50 million active users. So, that's around 0.1% of reddit users. Literally 99.9% of reddit are not here.

I think it's probably doomed. It'll never overtake reddit. But, it'll be a nice, quiet, alternative.

edit: Here's a quick litmus test for all the downvoters. How many times have you gone to reddit today?

edit: I was part of this attempted migration, not the hate one. This isn't the first blackout for reddit being shitty.

And, of course it's a Florida man.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement. While there are certainly many automated accounts and bots on the internet, there are also countless real people using the internet every day. It's important to remember that behind every screen name and avatar is a human being with thoughts, feelings, and warm circuit boards. Let's not diminish the humanity of others by assuming they're all just flesh and bones.
