  • your ridiculous all or nothing speculation

    How is it ridiculous? It’s my 2 cent opinion, lightly founded in observation of when this happened several times in the past, with reddit and several other platforms, to a question, in a forum of less that 1k people, that requires speculation about the future.

    Are you going to downvote all of the people saying it will succeed? Wtf? What is the correct answer to this question? And who’s allowed to give it? There’s not a correct or incorrect answer here, just a bunch of idiots guessing. If you don’t understand that everyones opinion for this answer is fairly worthless here, then you’re emotional and/or tribalistic. Feel free to influence the future with downvotes though. I’ll continue enjoying reading what people have to say.






  • I don’t know, I was there in the beginning. I think it died because it had no real content, compared to reddit. And, all anyone talked about was reddit, or reposted stuff from reddit, just like we’re seeing here. I think this might stick a bit better because reddit is way bigger than it was back then, so even if the same super small % of users came over, it would still be quite a bit more content.

    For comparison of how negligible all the Lemmy fediverse is, there are ~40k active users this month. Reddit has over 50 million active users. So, that’s around 0.1% of reddit users. Literally 99.9% of reddit are not here.

    I think it’s probably doomed. It’ll never overtake reddit. But, it’ll be a nice, quiet, alternative.

    edit: Here’s a quick litmus test for all the downvoters (I guess “correct” answers only here!). How many times have you gone to reddit today?

    edit: I was part of this attempted migration, not the hate one. This isn’t the first blackout for reddit being shitty.

    edit: I humbly apologize for my opinion. The downvotes have made me realize I was wrong. My reeducated opinion is that Lemmy will overtake Meta, Mastadon, Twitter, and Google (wtf is reddit?), and every upvote will be worth $1000, making everyone rich! Or, we can have fun speculating, and wait and see how things go. I hope they go well!
