It’s incredibly active. It’s not gigagigant size, like masto, but it has a userbase large enough to survive for many years without an infusion. Reddit is still censoring lemmy sites, in case anyone else is curious
People forget web forums were way smaller than lemmy and ran just fine and were very active. Lemmy has a very different use case to mastodon. Since you don’t need individuals to latch onto. We are having a discussion on lemmy as equals around a topic not followers of a person like how a Micoblog is designed to be.
Surprising to me that Lemmy is only at 4.3%, it definitely feels very active to me.
Yes very active. So active that, in fact, I keep seeing the same 1000 usernames all over Lemmy.
eh, reddit was like that for like the first 10 years
Yeah, and it started sucking when it added more users.
