Comment on Lemmy is slowly dying while Reddit thriving
FinallyDebunked@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
Let me prop up my complain. I look for an English community where I can ask questions about the language, and I found one. I put several questions there and have received zero answers in span of a month. Given that it is the largest such community here, I have to turn to Reddit.

I’m sorry that happened, but that’s just one community. That’s not enough of a sample size to say anything about Lemmy.
small44@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The only subs that are active are memes, politics and technology subs, everything else is desert
Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
I would say hidden more than desert, but I see what you mean, you have to look out for content more.
hperrin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You should browse the All tab more.
small44@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I do, but i don’t really find a lot more content that interest me in all. The subs that promote other subs are my main discovery method

Oh please, we all realize this didn't take off as expected. Reddit has its grip
roguetrick@kbin.social 11 months ago
This is actually exactly what I expected and am pretty content with it.
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 11 months ago
Yeah too many people expected another Digg situation but that was completely unreasonable.
PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Yeah that’s absolutely understandable. Probably most of the Lemmy users here could easily present atleast 1 community which is pratically dead in here compared to Reddit, which he/she/they misses.

Okay, now I have more of an understanding. For broad, general, casual use (like the way I use Lemmy) things are better here. For narrow, specific subjects (like what you need) reddit still has an edge.
