Comment on Why are there so many bots all lemmy?

No it won’t. Social networks require a critical mass to get started. It’s why platforms like Uber throw money at drivers and consumers at the start - without a critical mass, it won’t work.

Fair enough, I feel that there are enough people on Lemmy now that it is past the getting started phase though. If new people come on and see bot after bot I feel that it will be a worse experience than having fewer communities with organic engagement.
