You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here

“Surving” != “Thriving”.

A couple of years ago, I noticed that the front page of HackerNews was consistently getting links from Mastodon posts. That was interesting because it showed that at least one significant part of the tech conversation had moved away from Twitter and into the Fediverse.

No such thing has happened for Lemmy. There is no particular community which is thriving. There is no example of subreddit community that had successfully boycotted Reddit and transplanted here. We have the usual handful of posters, each one trying to maintain their communities “alive”, but that is far from its true potential.

!fediverse@lemmy.world is much more active than /r/fediverse

  Oh, wow. Thank you for a very good example for self-selection bias!
  
  Seriously, though: why is it that you feel this intense urge to dismiss any and everything I am saying? Don’t you think that is a little bit sad that all you can do is this mindless pontification?

    I reply when I see absolutes such as “all communities on Lemmy are dead”, "all mods are bad ", “all communities are about politics”
    
    It paints the platform in a bad light and it’s not accurate.

    Another example of absolute.
    
    I help this platform grow by regularly posting and engaging with regular users.
    
    Stop using absolute statements and I’ll stop replying.

    I didn’t make any of these statements
    
    There is a big difference between “sweeping generalizations” and “categorically correct statements”. The former are the statements you give as examples, but the latter can apply to the absolute majority of cases, even if someone has a data point (“the exception that proves the rule”) in the contrary.
    
    It paints the platform in a bad light
    
    Why would you think that?
    
    The original argument was “Communities don’t need a lot of posting to survive here”, and my response is basically saying “we should strive for more than surviving”.
    
    It seems like that instead of focusing on the part where I am calling for more action, you decided to focus on what you perceive as criticism and you try to attack that as soon as possible.
    
    Stop using absolute statements and I’ll stop replying
    
    It feels like your problem is not with the “absolute statements”, but that you are doing your best to reject reality.
    
    It doesn’t matter if the number is 100% or 99% or 92.376%, what matters is that it has been two years since the Reddit boycott and we still do not have a good example of a thriving community here. We had many attempts (the /r/selfhosted people, the /r/blind), but they are by and large still on Reddit.
