Do you guys see a lot of users in lemmy 'subs' I don't know if I'm using it right

Like ok

For every lemmy 'sub' there's like 1 or 2 users maybe 25 at most.

Am i doing something wrong?

no the site just doesn't have that many users

Man that sucks :(

Let's make an effort to migrate users from Reddit to Lemmy. Recently, Reddit's user experience have been deteriorating and it's extremely slow to use

:raises hand:

I came over from Reddit a couple of weeks ago, haven't logged into it since.

What you say is true; what drove me away ultimately were bad interactions with fascist (in the technical sense, not popular sense) mods.

How active are you on lemmy? What new content do you look at?

Not very (as you can tell from the delay in my reply). I hang out in Mastodon, mostly. But I'm a responder, not a poster, so my interactions are limited by three amount of content I have to react to.

But that's ok. I don't need a huge social media time sink in my life.

I'm not subscribed to much yet. I browse the general feed; I tend to add stuff organically, rather than go searching for it.

How is mastodon?

Active.

I don't know if it's just older, but there's a lot more traffic on Mastodon. Being a Twitter clone, it's more light material; memes, brief thoughts. People do have conversations, but nothing on the level or depth of Reddit.

There's stuff I've posted on Reddit I wouldn't have posted on Mastodon, if only because of the character limit. But it's great for little one-offs, pictures, etc.

I don't understand why it was said Mastodon and Lemmy are not compatible; I'm using Friendica, Pixelfed, and Mastodon at the same time in Fedilab -- it'd be great to use the same tool to access Lemmy.

I spend most of my time in Mastodon, popping into Lemmy occasionally to see what's up. That's probably more because there's more content at the moment on Mastodon.
