MODERATORS
The userbase is significantly bigger than some fairly decent forums that I use or used to visit. The problem is rather the behaviour of the users (reddit started to favour more Instagram-like behaviour of scrolling and "liking" rather than normal forum-like dialogue, especially when you look at r/all, and I think we're yet to grow out of it fully), and their relatively narrow range of interests (tech + political news) that leaves the other areas empty.
The user base of Lemmy may be bigger, but we don’t all share the same interest(s) the way people grouped on a specific forum would which does hinder it a bit.
