There needs to be 100 times the people for any change to manifest. No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to convince tens of thousands of people to switch.
Not at all! Just like with price, the difference between zero and one is hugely more consequential than any extra dollar added. Think of it: if you see a community with no posts in the last hour, or day, it does feel a bit deserted. Or a post without comments. By adding a post, or the first comment, you can be the difference for the next guy’s impression, and encourage them to do the same, and then the ball gets rolling, and that’s how you get momentum.
Sync is great. Lemmy is still lacking content. Shows I watch, bands, etc… those communities have no activity (if they even exist).
Be the change you want to see.
I gave up on making community content once I lost all my data when Vlemmy died. I know I’m a part of the problem, but it burned me out

Yes you will. It will just happen gradually over a couple years. No one is expecting this to happen overnight.
I am. LET’S GO! 🤣
We’re all here already, right?
IDK if we are that far off. Reddit was a lot of fun way before reaching it’s peak user base.
Additionally, the highest Lemmy days are seeing something like 25%-50% as many posts as Reddit does on average.

Same as Reddit in the beginning, Digg was so strong back in the day.
Niche communities start when the user ase grows quite a lot. Give it time.
My ass is pretty fat already. It doesn’t need any more growing.
It will take years before you see more niche communities like that.
