Comment on Average Lemmy Active Users by Month
rip_art_bell@lemmy.world 11 months agoI feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.
The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.
I’m staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don’t know what the answer is.
I think it’s fair to reply to niche-sub threads with a little PS:
BTW, I’ve recently shifted my online engagement to Lemmy, as I find it aligns more with my values and the way I like to share content. The community there is very welcoming, and they’d be incredibly receptive to the insights shared in this thread. Hope to seeing you there!
Good idea

The mirrors from alien.top are perfect for this use case. I had about 40 subreddits which I followed but didn’t participated much. I had them all mirrored to different communities and now I don’t need to go to reddit anymore.
(Unfortunately, LW has blocked alien.top, so if you want to do something similar you’ll need an account on a different server)

Promising, have to check this out!
Not sure if I’ll want to start with dummy accounts to test… by connecting my reddit account, am I actually potentially triggering more mirroring?

No. The mirroring is configured by the instance admin.
