  For that we need a LOT more users. It’s kind of a chicken and egg situation.

  Hopefully we can capitalise on the next Rexit.

  In the past lots of people moved over but left because of the terrible UX. I think PieFed has solved most of the UX issues.

    Reddit had the additional benefit of being found through google… that’s how i learned about the site.

    you cant google your way into this place - and that’s a huge limitation, when it comes to expanding the user base with random normal people.

      If you Google for “beans no pooping challenge” https://lemmy.eco.br/post/113558?scrollToComments=true at least appears on the first page of results - that’s progress, baby!

  This is it exactly. I made a hard cut with Reddit, but I’ll admit to missing the sysadmin subreddit. The place was full of very smart, helpful people and also cranky. The PowerShell subreddit was another great resource. I haven’t been willing to go back, but those sorts of communities only exist when you hit a certain mass of people on a platform.

      I’m not sure what it stands for, but it’s essentially a very powerful Arduino with wireless networking capabilities. I think the “e” is for espresif who manufacturer it. I could be wrong though. Irregardless, lol into it! Very cool little chip!

  This is the number one thing I would bring up tk the question “do we need more users”. We need more users if we want more niche communities, and I want more niche communities without having to post.
