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?
Yes this one. But you can’t force this kind of thing. They will come spontaneously or they won’t.
The only thing we could possibly do is publicise lemmy better. It is too well hidden and unknown.
The other thing could be, thinking of communities that don’t already exist elsewhere and starting them here. Or finding communities that are becoming toxic on reddit and inviting the users over. No point trying to compete with already thriving subreddits.
