I noticed during posting here in lemmy that there is next to no comments at any post here, regardless of the topic or the sub compared to any other website (reddit, quora, saidit, etc…) .
I started to feel that I am speaking to the void.
What is the real number of active users here?
Is there a growth plan for lemmy?
It’s unfortunate, but we usually see the biggest growth when communities are forced to migrate when they get booted off other platforms.
Lemmy as a whole is still missing the community engagement necessary for people to want to start migrating on their own. The snowball hasn’t started rolling down the hill yet, but we’ll get there.
While this is true, I think we also need to do a post-mortem on the genzedong migration some time.
My impression is that a lot of people on lemmy.ml stopped posting afterwards as the genzedong people would dogpile on anything even slightly outside of their misguided hivemind ideas. It killed off entire communities on lemmy.ml for sure.
Overall it was probably a net negative in user numbers as a lot of the genzedong people also seem to have stopped coming to Lemmygrad after a short while.
