We aren’t really a big instance. We don’t even make the top-20. Where we really hit above our weight though is our comment count.

We are medium in size, but we are super engaged.

    I’m honestly surprised Lemmy hasn’t taken off more than it has. Reddit’s actions make it such an unattractive option, but people are still returning there in the hopes of getting an upvote and a crappy useless award.

    Anyway, I’ll keep posting stuff and participating here.

    Just need a few more people to generate the topics and engagement will follow exponentially. I just don’t lead an interesting enough life to come up with much.

      It’s tricky - I want it to grow, but I don’t want to lose the culture we have here. Having run forums 20+ years ago, I know that keeping that balance of culture and growth is super difficult.

      Every time, you hit a critical point and suddenly it’s a site of random strangers with no community feeling. Reddit hit that point over a decade ago. I don’t want to repeat that here if we can avoid it.
