I think the biggest problem with this place ever becoming active is the different instances not staying in sync. On lemmy.ml where I created it I’m seeing 28 subscribers, 3 posts and 5 comments. Other instances are showing 5 subscribers, 3 posts and 3 comments and then there’s instances where I can’t find this place at all.
I’ve also sent PMs that either never send or never get read. How or why would people want to talk here when the experience is so inconsistent?
That makes sense I guess but it’s kinda confusing if the other numbers aren’t instance based. And if they (posts and so on) are instance based I think that’s a bad idea.
Since reddit just works I expect most people won’t care to move or even think about it. Another thing is, if most of the lemmy apps are currently kinda broken, why not just stick with the crappy official reddit app and stick with the community you’re used to (assuming the mods haven’t broken it like /r/firefox)? By the way, did you ever get that PM I sent you? I don’t know if it ever sent or if you saw my other post asking.
