We all know it's true

And the comments section without FlyingSquid

I have a lot to unload and nowhere to unload it.
Those 2 truly are the lemmyverse
- Wait where is SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world is he safe is he alright?
- I'm back on my BS is also a solid contributor
and that's to say nothing of @Kolanaki@yiffit.net
- 🤭
Haha apparently they blocked me from their .world account so TIL that's my Lemmy experience
- I didn't block you.

Yeah I love Lemmy, but I feel like it's being held up by a few different people. I comment and even occasionally post to try and help with that, but it's kind of scary how much weight is on a few peoples' shoulders, and that's not even accounting for server owners and the devs

That's the way it is with every platform, you only have a comparatively small proportion of people who do a huge share of the posting.

Reddit has the advantage of being absolutely massive that the power posters is also still a huge number. I'd imagine even the biggest of entire Lemmy instances is smaller than some of the major subreddits, which personally I'm fine with. This emmy instance isn't some major corporation beholden to growing value for shareholders at all costs, but on the other end it still doesn't mean the admins can do everything without monetary or labor support from us.
I like to think I make a difference with my inane bullshit, but K O L A N A K absolutely has me beat. Can't even get top commenter on my small instance lol
The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.
To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.
I try to post content, but I've found that it's certainly more clunky than submitting to reddit ever was. Share url to sync or jeroba isn't as smoooooth as submitting to reddit through RIF. I wish there was an easier way on desktop which is where I do most of my surfing.

Whatever. I'll still be here.

Edit: Jeez. My egotistical comment was beaten by 7 hours. https://lemmy.world/comment/10773740

Literally came here to say this. A few of you are keeping the place alive
The squid has spoken!
- More sort of clicked my beak halves together, but yeah.
No one cares about you 🙄 for the love of life. Get off it already... you even forced an emoji outta me, just to really get my point across /s

Sorry sorry, trying to be sarcastic-mean, not actually mean. Just wanted to rib poke for a second, but not at the expense of a person I don't know. I truly like seeing your activity around here; couldn't help myself though. Ya dick

I'm not great at sarcasm lol. I only wish the best for you, ya random squid 🐙
- Your sarcastic mean was sarcastic enough. Thanks and I wish the best for you too! :)
Big squid we like you but picard has so much more rizz you must understand
- I realize I'm a pale imitation.

I'm actually everyone else on Lemmy besides those two, running a few hundred accounts

Can confirm, I am this guy 👍
- I’m also actually u/match

Shoutout to @fossilesque@mander.xyz aswell. Love this guys content.

Fuck lemmycelebs. Block them all, your experience will be much better
- Prolly just gonna block u

Where's the love for SatansMagottyCumFart?

Upvote because gimp

Noticed the legendary pepper brush and immediately looked for this comment
- "Made with Freedom"

It would be an age of anime content, because I'm going nowhere.

What! I applaud your effort in promoting Dungeon Menshi in literally every instance.
- !dungeonmeshi@ani.social has been a huge success. And the monthly active user-count suggests there's plenty room for subscriber growth still.
  
  Now that the season is over, I suspect the people who don't watch shows weekly will start joining, too. And season 2 will be even more great as then the community will already be around and have a user-base.
  
  Can't wait.

I half expected this to be posted by him lol

It would be as disastrous as the impact to PC gaming when Gaben dies.

That's because according to Valve law, when he dies the whole company cannot be passed along to his successor
- Huh, what?

It makes my nerd heart happy that the most prolific posters are Trekkies, that’s the internet I left reddit for.

lemmy if they become the picard marooner

I didn't know that that is

I don't really know what drama caused it but when he stopped posting on c/risa@startrek.website it was a sad sad day.

No it wasn't.

Go check out the first few posts on !tenforward@lemmy.world to learn why. Essentially the startrek instance admin was power tripping, instance got abandoned by the main moderators and content contributors to get away from that.
- I understand that but none of the replacements came close to matching the level of content and quality, risa used to always be popping in recent and I've not found any of the replacements (I subscribed to them all) to be anywhere near that. Not saying the action wasn't warranted (it probably was) but still sad.

This post is way too meta.

Let's stop with the hero worshipping just because someone posts a lot. I saw Picard post a racist meme yesterday, heroes aren't perfect.

Please share the link to that post.
