A platform without ads or evil corpo ownership? Yeah, I’d scared too.

    It’s sobering to consider how tiny Lemmy is. Both the Linus Tech Tips forum and the Crackberry forum are bigger and more active than all of Lemmy together.

    Back in the day, even something niche as the Blitzbasic forum was bigger than Lemmy is now.

    It’s probably a good thing too, since both performance and in the way moderation needs to be done on Lemmy is so inefficient that it’s right now already at the point where instances are getting closed down because they can’t handle the workload and cost.

      Lemmy being small works for me. Reddit is horrendously toxic now, so I’ll occasionally lurk, but refuse to interact with it. I don’t want Lemmy to become Reddit.
