Hi, do you think lemmy would be as popular as Reddit ? I mean, many subreddits have much more posts compared to communities on lemmy… sometimes I scroll through Reddit sub top of month and see no end. At lemmy mostly I see 10 posts monthly… I do like concept of moving to lemmy, but it might make no sense if people’s are no active here and tbh I see the trend of disappearing activity

I don't want lemmy to be as popular as reddit as the signal to noise ratio was really bad.. Way too much noise.

I do want smaller communities that are on reddit to have a lemmy counterpart.

Exactly. The amount of /r/adviceanimals level pure shit content on Reddit is high, paired with the bots that repost things until they start hocking some crypto bullshit links.

But I have kept using Reddit for years because every once in a while, you see someone write thoughtful posts about some niche subject you didn't even know existed. That's always interesting.

Lemmy is at a state where it needs more users writing about things that interest them.

Relay Pro just went to subscription, so the last 3rd party Reddit app is gone. I will probably read Lemmy much more on mobile from now on and hope it picks up steam.
