Well, it’s a marginal improvement I guess.
Lemmy won’t be too ten probably for a decade or more.
Social media platforms suffer from chicken and egg problems – need an audience to draw the content creators, and need content creators to draw an audience. If we get enough content, the network effects may allow it to grow.
But that isn’t just bots posting shit with no user interaction either. How many Lemmy communities start and die on the vine due to no interaction?
Anyway, I keep coming back to both Reddit and Lemmy, but I try to only post new content on Lemmy, and make an effort to engage :)
