Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 1 day agoWhat about that issue do you think is causing less activity? Just people not wanting to engage as much because of the redundancy?

Yea, if people get too annoyed seeing the same story in 4 communities, I think eventually they consolidate down to one, and the fracturing reduces engagement across ALL the communities; a couple become ghost towns, etc. It’s a different sense of engagement to see 4 threads with 2-4 comments instead of seeing 1 with 20.

I’m trying to relate that to the experience back on Reddit, where the same thing happened. Didn’t seem to hinder growth. But often people would abandon the smaller versions of the communities for the larger ones.
