13 days agoHappy to help. Yes, that’s pretty much the conclusion we made.
Seems to completely miss the point of federation.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Lemmy currently has 45k monthly active users: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Centralized alternatives:
- Discuit has less than 250: https://discuit.net/DiscuitMeta/post/9JPo3q0m
- Tildes doesn’t have numbers, but based on activity, it seems similar to Discuit
- Blue Dwarf has 50
There was a thread yesterday on /r/RedditAlternatives talking about “how do you attract users to a new alternatives”, most of the comments where about how difficult it is: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1g4zcdi/for_those_of_you_who_started_your_own_alternative/
Based on this, I would say that Lemmy allowing everyone to open a server helps in that regard. Instance admins are more confident in the platform as they have control on this. Users trust admins.
migration between federated entities so that it doesn’t feel like as much of a chore to jump between instances.
Migration takes two clicks from the account settings, are you referring to something else?
This whole thread is wild with Lemmy expectations lol.
Yeah, it feels like people have expectations like the website is 100k or 200k monthly active members. We are barely 45k, so the scope has to be limited

You can use https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search for communities
https://feddit.cl, https://feddit.org and https://jlai.lu are quite active if you speak the languages
You probably need automated matches threads.
We have them on !football@lemmy.world , that helps a lot to get activity
They are not really allowing federation.

What niches are you in?
!newcommunities@lemmy.world has a lot of active communities on different topics
For a recent thread with other manual hobbies communities

- !newcommunities@lemmy.world for other instances
Feel free to have a look at !newcommunities@lemmy.world to discover other active communities
“New comments” allows to see the latest comments in conversations. Which is why I’m replying to you, while there are already 97 other comments here.
Have you tried promoting it on !newcommunities@lemmy.world ?
You can also suggest the mods to create weekly discussion threads, those are quite useful to keep the community active
Indeed
But, it does not have a dedicated Nostalgia community, it does not have AbruptChaos or anything else. Just the basics.
There’s only so many communities you can maintain active with 45k monthly active users
And I think if more people took on tasks like running the communities while educating people the benefits of the fediverse, then we can see a bit more growth.
Why do you think we don’t?

There are still many topics that I would find interesting to discuss, but that nobody talks about here;
Which ones are those?
What are those?
