    I think that’s normal. People will try out Lemmy but if they notice that the communities they frequent doesn’t have a lot of content they’ll just leave back to reddit.

    We can hope for organic growth but it’ll take a long time (especially with how big reddit is)

      And it’s understandable. Reddit had more than 16 years to build up the user base that it now has.

        Also years of AITA or relationship_advice content to read when bored. Not to mention loads of amazing askreddit threads you can binge.

        Content takes time to create.

          I’d be happy enough with just new content TBH. Totally out of the loop on wrestling and movies without Reddit.

              But the entire point of getting the info from Reddit is so I didn’t have to do that. Why watch seven hours of wrestling per week when I could watch two minutes of highlights and read discussions of the events?
