    You just got used to have millions of users on sub, and forgot that tens of thousands of users is a lot. Especially New users, who is going to read and comment a lot, compared to reddit with half of users being, like, not active at all.

      Makes sense. A friend of me unfortunately turns Lemmy down because the largest instance has “only” 1.6k users

          So far it’s not over run by assholes and brigades so I’m diggin it, even if content is sparse for now!

          Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

              Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

            Yeah I’m probably gonna end up doing my own instance at some point once I get my bearings around here, plus it’s just fun to learn new technology!

              I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.
