  • This has been consensus across most of Reddit. Most people don’t care, and won’t care. So, those of us that do just need to be here making the best of it and not worrying about Reddit. Once there is comparable amounts of content in the Fediverse, people will end up joining for the same reason they joined Reddit.

    I initially signed up for Reddit after I kept getting sent links to Reddit. It was just a place that had information I was interested in.

    Right now, telling people to join because it will eventually be good and it’s ethically good doesn’t work because there’s not much here and most people are fine using commercial software.

    However once there is a wealth of information here, say someone publishes a very good guide for self-hosting and you have a friend that wants to self-host a Plex server, you link them to a lemmy or kbin guide. They will naturally be compelled to join and ask questions if they have them.

    It takes time. Just let those of us that are ideologically driven create content good enough that everyone else ends up coming for their own reasons.


  • Loving it - federation is great, hardly ever even know which instance I’m interacting with from kbin, which is a good thing as it means the federation is working and mostly seamless. Can’t wait for some apps to come out and streamline the experience, hopefully some more people will start coming here to populate a lot of the communities that I’d like to participate or lurk in. Right now there’s a lot of… uh… shouting into the void trying to fill the space. I’m posting way more than I ever did on reddit just because like… somebody has to do it, right?
