Fediverse

I'll do my best! Luckily, Lemmy still has a healthy community though 

Part of the issue (I feel a large part ) is that the learning curve is too steep to get on Lemmy

Now I'm not saying it's hard at all; but it's significantly higher than simply "go to a main page and create a user name and password". Lemmy needs a sign up page that just random signs you up to an active instance (per the instances permission) and automatically subscribes you to the 50 most active instances to just get you started up.

Making a getting started page that's as idiot proof as any .com would probably go a long ways into upping our numbers here.

I send my friends memes. They ask "Muad'dib, where do you get these great memes?" I say I get my great memes from Lemmy. They instantly lose interest, because Lemmy is full of tankies and kinphobes

It’s quality and quantity. The quality has held despite a drop in users. Just wait and let Reddit have another controversy and we’ll get another infusion of converts. Popularity may only threaten more bots and scams.

I'll commit to commenting more. I prefer to lurk, but the fediverse needs me 🤣

I have been noticing a drop in post/comments diversity and quantity. The diminishing users is something noticeable and sad.

We're in times where we need to seek alternatives to big tech more than ever, and yet, people don't seem to care :(

I advertised Lemmy to my friends a few times and they have now stopped replying to my messages :P
