  • Your instance was created this year, if that’s what you mean. My instance is a year older:

    Also, defederation would impact this as well. For all I know the missing posts are on lemmy.grad (for example).

    Edit: actually it’s definitely the age of your instance.

    I got curious and decided to view my profile from feddit.org and it shows less than half of my total posts/comments

    I like this actually, I look a little more well-adjusted lol. It also shows just how much effort I was putting into commenting on things early on to break the seal



  • Seconding this @Damage@fedd.it Lemmy has really shown me this first-hand multiple times. For example !connectasong@lemmy.world started out with a few regular posters but then there was couple mo th period where we all seemingly forgot. Once I remembered I went back and decided to just connect songs with my self each day until it came back. Turned out it worked in under a week.

    But it can also take time. I made my own community was the only poster there for months, posting maybe average once per week. Subscribers trickled in slowly and then I found its subscirbers growing exponentially and now others contribute.

    Remember, people are abandoning reddit slowly all the time, it’s not all grand exoduses, I see it as building a relatively active community for future users to find. !fedigrow@lemm.ee was recently created for more discussion in this area.

    One tip is that most of us “use” Lemmy a bit differently than Reddit. Most niche communities (with some exceptions ofc:-) here aren’t as active as they were on Reddit, so many of us end up spending more time in the generalized ones - e.g. !technology@lemmy.world rather than specific ones like r/OnePlus or even r/Android.

    I know it’s now a cliché comparison but that was what early reddit was like. If you were a more recent redditors you need to realize it started smaller too, originally there weren’t even subreddits, and there was a /r/reddit.com once they were introduced.

    That level of granularity largely won’t be necessary here for a while but I don’t mind at all.
