I’ve been using Lemmy and learning the ropes of the Fediverse and I’m really impressed - especially using wefwef which has replicated my Apollo experience very well.

There are posts and everything, just a lack of comments to read for hours on end is the only issue I have, but I believe that with more users this really could be the replacement.

Are you guys thinking the same thing? Is there evidence yet that Reddit is slowly failing and power users are migrating?

    I don’t think it’s the content — there’s already Reddit reposting bots available. It’s the lack of comments which makes Lemmy feel more lonely/less active. I wonder what the average non-bot comment count is for most posts on r/all

      I kind of like the lower comment count. It sucks when there are literally no comments, but for me, I’m much more inclined to leave a comment when there aren’t too many already. Plus I found most comments were really low effort jokes. For every well thought out comment, there were a million ‘this’ type comments.
