Be ready to get your post removed for self promotion, and yourself banned. That’s what I noticed on most countries subs (except Australia I guess? [email protected] still thriving everyday)

Mostly lurk, as there’s no point commenting in a thread with 5000 comments

FYI, I added your initial post to this one https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37336391 as a reason why join-lemmy.org isn’t a good recommendation

There’s a lot of margin between 47k monthly active users and infinite growth

[email protected] has plenty of reports from power tripping mods on popular instances, those instances are still the most used

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37336391 (pinned on [email protected] ), nowadays I basically go with:

" Lemmy has 47k monthly active users

• https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
• https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
• https://vger.app/settings/install if you want an app

Feel free if you have any questions"

Some people are used to browse Reddit at work. Browsing a website with shit on it isn’t ideal.

Welcome!

Users are more active as the platform is smaller, interactions are more engaging

Well, in your case, even if Reddit has 8 billions users, you still wouldn’t be able to access it, so why worry?

Top 10 ( https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list )

1. LW
2. lemm.ee
3. lemmynsfw.com - not suitable
4. sh.itjust.work - shit in the name, not appealing to the average user
5. lemmy.ml - power tripping https://feddit.uk/post/12952230
6. lemmy.dbzer0.com - requires to follow and agree the Anarchist code of Conduct - not appealing to the average user
7. lemmy.ca - Canada-oriented, non-Canadian users might not want to join as they wouldn’t think they would belong
8. feddit.org - German-focused, https://feddit.org/c/main content is in German
9. lemmy.blahaj.zone - queer-focused
10. programming.dev - programmers-focused

I made a more complete analysis in this post https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37336391 (pinned on [email protected] ), nowadays I basically go with:

Because yes, the USA/EU question appeared during the Luigi announcement in LW.

It’s fascinating that when a social media is created without algorithmic boosting of content, pop culture suffers.

Lemmy is also mostly male, not sure that’s a consequence of the lack of algorithmic boosting of content.
