Reddit is just pissing me off more and more by the day. Every single post (at least a solid 4/5ths of them) ends up getting auto-filtered. Sick of it…

      Most people are still on Reddit, lemmy isn’t big enough yet…

      And it’s a paradox because if we keep using Reddit its user base won’t shrink and people won’t move.

      So what do we do? Maybe keep going there to keep finding these really niche advices or fixes, but without interacting? IDK TBH

        Think of it like an investment. Right now a person goes to reddit/fb/twitter/etc. because they get a quick payoff. By switching to fedi, you get less of a payoff now, but by helping to build it you get an even bigger payoff later. Anything worth doing involves some kind of “payment” or sacrifice this way. And like other investments, the more you put into it now (with content and getting others to switch), the sooner and bigger will be your payoff.

        But as a bonus, there are immediate benefits to using fedi, so you get to enjoy those right away while you wait.

          Im new to Lemmy so sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there a way to see how many people are using Lemmy over the years?
