In my opinion people focus too much on what lemmy could be and are failing to appreciate what it is.
Engaging with the platform as it is will better attract others than going elsewhere and promising things that lemmy might not ever be.
I could not agree more like the early web before it became popular enough for corporations to take notice and start exploiting it. Cherish being under the radar and enjoy the community that's already here. More will come when they are ready just be ready to welcome them when they do.
I'm a big fan of what it is, but I'd love if there was something unique people could come here for, I'm describing it terribly though.
It's already unique. I can't get what I get here anywhere else.
Lemmy is like a cafe, not like a stadium.
This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn't even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when "downvote ≠ disagree" and the place felt nicer.
Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that's neat, but at what cost? I don't like being on it, and I've been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.
Aye - rather than how, why? I do not mind a smaller community.
