    You don’t have to walk away, you can migrate.

    We tried that with Lemmy and many great communities only have one or two people posting consistently.

    Most people don’t care about behind the scenes

      It depends, if mods were fully onboard and had a plan it definitely works. Just look at Piracy or Star Trek communities.

        I just checked the Star Trek community on reddit and it’s still up with 753k members and 189 online. The Lemmy versions I can find are a fraction of that.

        The idea of Lemmy is great but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking big communities actually migrated.
