I know Kbin will grow in time but I miss how huge Reddit was.

I personally don't mainly because it feels like I have nothing of worth to say if there's already like hundreds of comments that have already said my point in a multitude of ways, also just the anxiety of judgement and shit. On smaller platforms like these there's actual room to speak and share stuff

Same, didn't post or comment much on reddit but I'm gonna encourage myself here because you can actually participate
I definitely miss the niche communities but I'm hoping they make their way here

[-] Hypx@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I think you really mean you miss the diversity of communities. But at the size of Reddit, the front page is just spam/clickbait. Very few people actually want that level of size. The ideal goal is something that has all of the major communities of Reddit, but we don’t really want it to be that big.

No, I don't miss that at all. I'm here because it's more like Reddit was when I first joined.

Reddit was small once. Then Digg has a seizure and Reddit grew quickly.

Now it’s Reddit having a fit and we’re seeing more people dabbling in the threadiverse. It won’t be the same pace though, it has the same challenges as Mastodon etc.. to encourage people to take a moment to understand federated decentralised Vs the monolithic services they’re used to.. but it’s going to grow. June 30th will be the next influx.

It will get there. I don't think it's going to be the same as Mastodon, because on here it's actually somewhat simple to find things.

[-] Stardust@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I definitely prefer here to Mastodon so far, simply for that reason.

Regardless of how many people stay on Fediverse or return to Reddit, the important thing is that so many people are now aware of, and engaging with, alternatives.

I miss Reddit’s size… circa 2010.

[-] rusticus@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

In the last few years, Reddit has become overwhelmed with bots and trolls. Kbin and Lemmy feel more fresh because they are - it’s too soon for the negative cloud. But it will come eventually. For now, this is a million times better than Reddit.

That's what she says.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Most of that size was from lurkers, OnlyFans spammers, bots, and chuds. I much prefer here, where nearly everyone is a real contributor. It feels more like how Reddit was a decade ago

[-] ritzylasagna@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That's what she said.

[-] LegacyFlex@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It's not the size of th site but how you use it that matters...

One of the things I don't miss is the reposting bots. They are a big chunk of the content volume.
