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?

      Criticize the speaker instead of focusing on the question or the idea being said??

      Very classical case of Ad hominem (logical fallacy) .

      Also, the reason people are leaving closed source to open source social media should be having fun.

      Lemmy is not a university, it’s a social media software, thus it should be used as such.

      Edit 1: also I am asking this question based on my observation here because i want to work on making lemmy more accessible.

      Why would i spend my time contributing here if there is no one benefiting here?

        It feels pretty topical to ask “why aren’t you engaging?” in response to someone asking “why isn’t anyone engaging with me?”.

        It’s also an ad hominem to accuse me of logical fallacies btw.

        I came to open source social media for the communism, so we may just have opposing needs for this space. Lemmygrad is active enough for me.

        That was legitimate criticism that was entirely related to your question. It was not a character attack.
