I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

If all the average users were here, it would be just as awful as Reddit became when it hit mainstream acceptance level.

Remember that subreddits there were quality when small but sort of became too large to have character after a certain threshold, I seem to recall 300k subscribers and up being about where that delineation was.

Lemmy could stand to be more popular, but not too popular or it would attract the bottom feeders that make stupid one liner comments and upvote wrong answers.

Enjoy the smaller lemmy while it lasts

Edited for clarity, gotta drop the reddit shorthand

Interesting number, but why not have it based on active users rather than subs?

Because that’s just an easy metric you can eyeball to gauge a subreddit community

I remember it being roughly true but I have no data other than anecdotal to back that up

No worries, thanks!

~~I think "subs" in this instance refers to subcommunities or subreddit, not subscribers.~~

NM. Missed the word subscribers in the original comment.

My bad. Yes I meant sub as in subreddit, I need to drop the reddit shorthand lingo since I don’t use the site anymore and it’s confusing on lemmy
