The irony:

You are askinf people on Lemmy why people don't use lemmy?

Brother, don't you own a mirror? Go get high and existential on reddit.

For something to be popular, you have to turn it on and you're using it.

That will always be the biggest issue.

Just you wait. Growth will happen in shocks. Basically people probably haven’t heard about Lemmy yet.

Does anyone else find the font on this uncomfortable to read is that just me?

everytime an instance, or a community goes down or recieves too much drama(like how some users dint like the "political stance of a specific instance owners(not tankies)), they scatter to other platforms thats why. some went to piefed, and others. the last instance that went down, there was much more people lemmy, especially in some categories(not much but more than now)

I'd say we have too many reposts and not enough original content here. I mean you probably need to think about the value proposition. What does the Lemmyverse offer to someone from Mastodon? A lot of what we do is post the news and memes. And we got some Linux computer support. Now they already got all of that over on Mastodon. Oftentimes it won't even be a repost by some third party, but they get more original content because bloggers and comic artists post themselves over there. Along with some computer magazines and news outlets.

I use Lemmy every day!

33 people participated

Maybe because they’re spread out over a bunch of different instances?

Lemmy ist for talking about topics, mastodon is for following brands and entering parasocial relationships.

Basically this. Quadruple moderation on lemmy is stupid.
Reddit agents easily ban content and active contributors

Quadruple moderation.
Moderation is waay waay worse on lemmy

1. If you are just a basic prole who wants to use a forum and discuss today's issues, Lemmy seems to be a smaller version Reddit. How does it stand out?

2. The name is awful. Twitter grew regardless of the name, so maybe this point is dumb. Also, avatar looks like a rat.

3. Rainbow. If you want more users, expand your market. Rainbow in USA means Democrat LGB. Would you like more Christians and Muslims to join? Hindu?

4. I'm a moron, not a programmer... but wouldn't a lot more users destroy Lemmy? From my reading of what other smarter people have said, too much growth would lead to exponential costs and isn't really feasible. I am not well read on this topic, so apologies.

I would guess that the founders made these design decisions to exclude normies, maybe that's also why they picked the name and selected the rat icon. In which case, everything is working as designed and all is well.

why does this matter.
