So, lemmy is a project I have been following since the beggining. With federation here, it seems like everything is aligned for it to become the reddit killer, pardon my expression.
What do you think is missing from lemmy for it to have a massive engaging community?
The one thing i find very strange - people on lemmy aren’t posting about covid all the time. Everyone on reddit, in the news, and in real life, is talking >50% of the time about covid. But here, not a peep.
And that’s very good! I’m tired of covid-related posts, 99% of them are useless and don’t provide any interesting content. When I subscribe to the technology communities I don’t want to read about covid, I want to read about technologies!
Of course, if you interested in covid-related content, just subscribe to specific communities about it, but don’t post it in other communities
It makes me think that the lemmy userbase is really very strange. Maybe I don’t notice because I’m strange too.
There must be a huge divide between popular interests and popular lemmy interests.
Not a good or a bad thing IMO. Might be a shock though for early users, once lemmy gets popular.
