    Do we want lemmy having more relevance?

    I like how it is. Most people is cool, one can exchange ideas with some sort of freedom. It’s nice here

    I say upvote stuff more. Like a lot more. We like to watch the number go up, and the more we see it the more we engage, which should attract more users.

    In my opinion people focus too much on what lemmy could be and are failing to appreciate what it is.

    Engaging with the platform as it is will better attract others than going elsewhere and promising things that lemmy might not ever be.

      I could not agree more like the early web before it became popular enough for corporations to take notice and start exploiting it. Cherish being under the radar and enjoy the community that’s already here. More will come when they are ready just be ready to welcome them when they do.

        Lemmy is a platform without an algorithm, the content curation is in your hands.

        My feed is shitposts and cute animals, if you don’t like what you see then unsubscribe from those communities.

          I’m talking about my highly curated feed. Otherwise it would be an avalanche of US politics and bad news.

    Just keep participating. Other platforms will occasionally explode, people will look here, and if they see activity, many will stay.

    If you look at active user charts for Lemmy, basically every time Reddit explodes, Lemmy picks up permanent users.

      Yeah just use it as normal and have patience.

      Only reason I’m here is after getting arbitrarily banned from reddit for the 3rd time and refusing to make a new one.

    Methinks we need even more Linux discussions/debates/arguments.
