Lemmy is a big guy.
Comment on Anon is worried about AAA sales

Lemmy is still a relatively young community. I bet it gets better with time. I like to think that I already noticed small (and healthy) community growths.
And I do not have a metric nor an example. This is super vague, I know.

I don’t know. Lemmy’s majority user is former reddit users and even at the size reddit is now, sarcasm would constantly go over peoples’ heads

I’m pretty sure it’s because most of the people here are on the spectrum.

A lot of users came here to boycott reddit. Taking this kind of action is quite hard when it comes to dopamine sources like reddit. The users that migrated have at least that in common. I’m curious what Lemmy will look like in 5 to 10 years with this kind of starter on the “lemmy agar”.

And 4 years on, I still can’t figure out whether it’s because of neurospiciness or divergent interests. Linux? 471 communities. Writing? 2 and the mods of the second one abandoned their accounts years ago

Maybe it’s because even within the fediverse, there are too many people who agree to it unironically. i.e. Lemmy is just a little too diverse for most satire.

In certain ways, maybe. I can’t see eye to eye with some people on what constitutes a genocide, for instance. But there comes a point where it’s apparent again and it’s pretty apparent who it’s apparent to on this open source communist Linux forum.
It’s my personal belief that lemmy at large is simply too experientially limited to recognize online satire outside of incredibly specific examples. Mostly meme templates.

Pretty sure it’s the tism.

No, no, that’s “literally taking everything,” but now we’re getting into the realm of dyslexics
