[+] StarkillerX42@lemmy.ml -22 points 3 years ago (1 child) This site is the real difference. Lemmy had 0 activity until now. Now that there's a footing, there's a real chance of continued growth. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) From Lemmy perspective there's been a huge influx of new users, but from Reddit perspective nothing changed. I do expect Lemmy to keep growing, but I don't expect that it's going to have any measurable impact on Reddit in the foreseeable future. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DM_Gold@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Honestly I'd rather have a smaller community to interact with. Less bullshit that way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 years ago Yeah, I don't think rapid growth is necessarily desirable either since it brings a lot of toxic behaviors from reddit along with it. The goal for Lemmy should be sustainability, as long as there are enough people to have discussions with and to bring content, enough people to host servers, and enough developers, then Lemmy will be fine. Growth for the sake of growth makes little sense. permalink fedilink source parent
