        Lemmy (also mastodon, in effect fediverse) is about quality and interaction, rather than consumption. So userbase being “tiny” is a feature. Here, your posts aren’t buried under karma farming accounts, your comments actually lead to discussions and get replies.

        There are plenty of pointless posts and comments here daily, but let’s hope for a quality future

          yes

          Reddit seems to be about 1000x bigger.

          It should be noted that social media companies like reddit, facebook, twitter, etc all have major incentives to inflate their user counts (with bots, or counting inactive users). Those user counts are the product that they're selling to advertisers to set up on their platform.

          We don't have that incentive, in fact its the opposite, we'd rather have less and more active users, as more users require more moderation resources and time.

            Yes. Go up to someone on the street and ask what Lemmy is.

            That's fine, though, we're not going anywhere, and we can only grow.

                  No OC, but i "read you" on fdroid. Imo its the best option I've found for mobile.

                  On desktop there are a lot of options but i dont have a sigular recomendation.

                    That is a valid point. If we take those numbers with a hefty heap of salt, Reddit would still be 10x or 100x bigger than Lemmy.

                      Well said, the emphasis here seems to be more about the content rather than the amount of upvotes you can get. But as this community grows so will exploiters as well. Time will tell I guess, but I really enjoy this platform more than any other.

                            Not even comparable. /r has more users and bots.

                                That hasn't been the trend though.

                                  yup but its a good size from my experience when engaging with it overall. if we get larger we will definately need more niche things.

                                    There are probably lists you can search online but I find that adding /feed or /rss to the URL of a page I want to see updates from does the trick. There is also at least one Firefox add-on that indicates if a page has an RSS feed.

                                      How? Something else would have to pull community members away from the fediverse. I don't know what that would be right now.

                                      Meanwhile, non-federated platforms will enshittify, or even straight-up be bought out by a crazy billionare who wants to ruin everything,.

                                        I'd like to know myself.

                                        Plenty of blog sites support rss by just adding /index, /feed, /atom to the sites names
                                        Example: https://www.ntietz.com/atom.xml
                                        https://chriscoyier.net/feed/

                                        So I've just been adding them gradually as i encounter blogs i care to read.

                                          Normally you can paste the blog url directly into the rss reader and it will find the feed automatically.
