800 people clicked subscribe but noone talks. This is 99.99% of Lemmy communities. :)

People say this but every post I see has comments on it

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah if you sort by Top or Active, you see posts with activity and this is the default behavior for most clients.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that’s the case for active but isn’t top based on votes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah maybe yes. I admit I haven't looked into it. :)

1 in 100 votes, of those 1 in 100 comments and of those 1 in 100 posts new stuff.

I never understood why people dont post comments. It's really no effort to say something.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Somtimes people dont have an option, dont think their opinion matter or just dont want to engage in conversation. Also consumation is much more easy then writing something, spellchecking it and sending it.

i don't know maybe reddit is still better in that department i use reddit way more than lemmy the ui is just better to me but maybe in the future lemmy will be even better :D

I just despise the owners. :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not specific to Lemmy. It's normal to have >99% consumers and <1% creators. You can do your part

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Although I know what you mean, it is not fully true for this community. In some of the posts there has been quite some discussions with even some more nice ideas and webpages popping up ;).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's OK the way things are now. Some nice discussions every day.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not to be an ass but would you really say it’s “gone viral”?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

lemmy is way smaller than reddit

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

well since lemmy is tiny compared to reddit the amount of subs means way more than on reddit lol i made this community when i was 15 years old, i literally never expected it to go "viral" lmao

Congratultions & thank you @[email protected] I really love this community as there are so many wonderful ideas (websites) still to be discovered on the internet.

Do you have an idea, why for me only 24 subscribers (for sure not correct) are displayed?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

24 people of your instance, feddit.de, have subscribed to the community.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah this makes sense. Thank you for the explanation :) So seems about time to pull some fellow feddit members into this community.

I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)

They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app" is “bad vibes”

Give me some of what you're smoking.
