As much I love the idea of Lemmy, I’ve noticed myself I was drawn back to Reddit. Why? Because it has a larger community, of course, but (and please don’t shoot me for this), Reddit’s algo and rewards. Yes, the achievements are stupid, but they work.

The folks building Lemmy could investigate how to increase engagement.

Niche active communities for sure.

I am also banned from reddit and can’t contribute. You’d imagine that would pull me more towards lemmy, but just getting the novelty of so many new posts makes it enticing even if I am not interacting.

Instagram and tiktok benefit less from its algo imo than they do from its numerous creators. The novelty drives people. It’s complicated I am sure but actively this is what I think about when I reach for these platforms.

I definitely think the trick is having innumerable amount of content.
