There needs to be 100 times the people for any change to manifest. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to convince tens of thousands of people to switch.
Yes you will. It will just happen gradually over a couple years. No one is expecting this to happen overnight.
I am. LET'S GO! ๐คฃ
We're all here already, right?
I actually followed a guy on reddit who shared his phone number with me. I just searched for him on Lemmy and he's not here. texted him to get over here! lol
I'm working on it!
Altho true someone has to be the first of those 100 people. Slowly but surely people will come
But those people have already made the choice and it isn't Lemmy.
And that's fine, if they don't come they don't come. I like Lemmy so imma stay
If they don't come then they will be making communities elsewhere. Which means less relevance for Lemmy.
IDK if we are that far off. Reddit was a lot of fun way before reaching it's peak user base.
Additionally, the highest Lemmy days are seeing something like 25%-50% as many posts as Reddit does on average.
Not at all! Just like with price, the difference between zero and one is hugely more consequential than any extra dollar added. Think of it: if you see a community with no posts in the last hour, or day, it does feel a bit deserted. Or a post without comments. By adding a post, or the first comment, you can be the difference for the next guy's impression, and encourage them to do the same, and then the ball gets rolling, and that's how you get momentum.
