Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

    Preach. So what, we multiply the amount of people those Sublemmies get by 100. It’s still going to be dead. That’s how dead it is.

    We need to create Sublemmies for certain groups out of thin air. There’s no chance we can convince people to move when the amount of engagement is orders of magnitude less.

    Look at League of Legends. You know, the most played videogame in the world. One post per day in here. It’s over.

      The entire LCS regular season I made post match threads at [email protected] . I always enjoy those discussions. Six weeks, 2-3 days a week, so maybe 15 posts. I probably got a dozen comments combined. I went into a few team discords asking for engagement.

      On Reddit that’s more like 78 posts. Each of those posts on Reddit will get hundreds of comments. 12 comments on Lemmy versus way more than 1600 comments on Reddit.

      The league communities here aren’t anywhere close to 0.1% of the league community there.

      It’s hard to build from absolutely nothing.
