So, I see r/NZ is back. That’s it? What an anemic protest. I guess I’m honestly surprised more people don’t care. I expected the protest to go on longer, but I guess I overestimated how much the average user cared about this.
Unfortunately, I think it probably means we won’t see a lot of growth in Lemmy now. Shame.
Not from NZ, but I recently put together some thoughts on how Reddit dies based on how other social networks historically die here.
The tl;dr is that expecting reddit or any subreddit over a certain population to keel over and die and have everyone move to Lemmy was most likely never going to happen, because it has never happened before.
Just enjoy the Fediverse for what it is :)
This is fair. A social media site (or any media for that matter) doesn’t need to be used by a majority of people for it to be good. As long as there’s enough people to provide a steady stream of activity, it’s doing good. That being said, would be cool to see Lemmy become popular enough properly function as a Reddit replacement.
