@trifictional I saw support for Mastodon and people moving to it.
Lemmy just hasn't had that yet.
And its apparent why.
Unlike Twitter, core functionality of Reddit has still not degraded

@JshKlsn You are talking about a chicken and egg problem here.
When these devs with millions of users promote Lemmy, is when Lemmy will thrive bringing in even more incentive to build great apps for them
@animist Twitter is mainstream. Instagram is mainstream.
Reddit was nowhere as mainstream as you might think. Outside of US.
It had a nice balance between being niche but having enough content.
Atleast that's what I feel
@trifictional People are what make a platform.
Users submit content to fill it
Mods make it liveable
Lemmy has enough mods. But given that 99% of redditors weren't affected by the changes, Lemmy just doesn't have the urgency.
Big subreddits are protesting instead of switching to Lemmy.
One adv is that Lemmy can tap into Mastodon users. But even that I have not seen happenning.
I will be happy to be proved wrong tho. Let's see...
