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
We all know it's true

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
Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.
FlowerTree@pawb.social 11 months ago
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.
MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
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.
Cryophilia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Every time I submit something, it gets removed for not being in the proper community.
Like dude, the proper community doesn’t exist and I don’t have the time to mod a community!
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Whatever. I’ll still be here.

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 🐙
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Your sarcastic mean was sarcastic enough. Thanks and I wish the best for you too! :)

What! I applaud your effort in promoting Dungeon Menshi in literally every instance.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
!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 the then the community will already be around and have a user-base.
Can’t wait.
MamboGator@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I used to visit a classic forum like this. One person really carried the conversation and then suddenly disappeared and the forum died. Still have no idea what happened to them. Hope they just got bored or preoccupied with life.
Rayspekt@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It would be as disastrous as the impact to PC gaming when Gaben dies.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s because according to Valve law, when he dies the whole company cannot won’t be passed along to his successor

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

v_krishna@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
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.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
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.
v_krishna@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
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.
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’ve blocked several of the most active posters here and I don’t notice any difference on my feed. Neither would you.
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Flying squid blocked me apparently. I didn’t notice until people here talked about how prolific he is with comments
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Someone ignoring your comments does not mean they blocked you.
Be a better person and people might talk to you.
match@pawb.social 11 months ago
And what about the other dozen people yelling at you in replies
AplasticAenima@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It really improves Lemmy for me, especially with TPM. All he does is spam really old reddit memes that were old even back when I was using it, so I’m not missing anything.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This post is way too meta.
MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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.

Note that the deer head and antler aesthetic is based on a number of depictions of w*ndigo that have gained popularity among white audiences and been heavily criticised for cultural appropriation.
