I agree that the standards were lower. That resulted in a lot of fun because things were easier. It would be harder to gain momentum that way now.
The thing about link aggregation is that it can be done on any platform. You can post links to Piefed, Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr along with all mainstream sites. So why choose Lemmy over them?
The difference will be the OC. If users don’t want to put in the work for it then people who join will get bored and move on.
I’ll read comments on Reddit talking about Lemmy. Users will say they tried Lemmy but there was no interest/posts/discussion in their niche communities so they ended up back on Reddit.
We’ll see what happens I guess.

Back in the Aughts I knew he was an idiot when he stated, “I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.”
Then years later, “I am Warhol, I am the number one impactful artist of our generation, I am Shakespeare in the flesh…”
Nah, you’re just full of yourself dumb dumb.

It didn’t take a decade for OC on smaller communities. I’ve been using Reddit since 2009. There was plenty of OC since 2012.

Lemmy could use more OC in niche communities.
Most posts are links to other websites.
It might be good to try and post OC from Lemmy or the rest of the Fediverse to mainstream social media sites as a form of exposure.
Maybe we can get this type of idea to become more common here.

- Comment on How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same? 3 months ago:
As an American, this is the simplest way I can say this.
Ignorance is bliss.
The less you know, the happier you are.
The happier you are, the more outgoing you become.
It’s a double edged sword.

Never trust Reddit.
- Comment on Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be? 3 months ago:
They would absolutely not allow him to die in prison.
They want to make a public example of him in order to show the proletariat they they are the masters.
They will find a way to find him guilty and they will execute him. They will make sure we all know it.

He believes it’s good while anyone who can think critically about race or religion knows it’s bad.

The area immediately before your hand is also really good at letting you know the time.
