The problem is that Lemmy never hit that critical threshold of users where I can just stop using Reddit.

Like one of my favorite subreddits - gaybros and askgaybros - zero activity on the fediverse, so I'm going back to Reddit for that.

I believe the lack of apps (that offer 100% of what Lemmy on browser has) is also playing its part. Many people will return or be more tempted to come here when apps will come out. Some are ready with a million more well on the way.

Password reset is broken. I can't get back into any of my accounts as a so I have to either lurk, or make a new one every time.

Soon enough this one will die, and Lemmy will lose yet another "another active user".

I'll be more interested in the user numbers when it's been a year.

I'm loving it here but yeah hope there's a bit more engagement. I think the main thing people need to focus on is building up the more common communities. From there we can slowly branch out as more people join. If we spread out too thin we're just going to get graveyard communities.

As we grow we can focus on expanding and getting more of those niche communities going .

I host my own lemmy instance. Is there a way to get comments from other instances to show up?

I was able to subscribe to lemmy.world communities, but when articles show up it only shows comments from my instance (none)

Do these numbers include kbin?
