    My account here is 4 years old. I was so excited to learn about Lemmy back then, but the user base was painfully low. I’m getting that same excitement I had back then.

    Please new people, make this your permanent home and forget Reddit!

      And the Reddit blackout hasn’t even started yet. Gonna be interesting to see what this place looks like a week from now. I’m excited!

      People stay if there is enough content and the user experience doesn’t suck. So fare, more and more people try to engage and build new communities. Just try to add value. Also the UI and Apps improved quickly but its fare from perfect :-)

      If this place grows just a bit more, I’m definitely staying. I’ve always preferred the vibe of smaller communities anyway.
