Is what I'm doing actually useful?

Reddit wasn't immediately known as the "front page of the Internet." It took time to build up a reputation and tons of content before it started to get noticed and promoted by search engines.

Lemmy is the same. It's small now, but with enough content, it will eventually become a reference point like Reddit. Every little bit counts.

Yes keep at it, reddit wasn't built in a day!

It took time to build up a reputation

It also took Digg ruining itself.

I was a really early Reddit user and Reddit was very much how Lemmy is now

I think it is

It looks like you've made 61 posts in the last 24 hours. That's a lot of content to provide!

If you're enjoying it, then there's no harm in carrying on. Well done, thank you!

But if you're not enjoying it, then slow down. Stop posting or just post less frequently, whatever it takes to feel like you're doing something you find worth doing. Otherwise, what's the point?

But to your original questions, I don't think you're wasting your time and posting is definitely useful for the Fediverse ecosystem.

Yeah, I’ve been here a while now, and Lemmy absolutely feels like old Reddit, before the bots and corporations took over.

The irony is that Digg has supposedly been working to absorb a lot of the Reddit refugees. Apparently if they’re not landing on Lemmy, they’re landing on Digg. It makes me wonder how many of the users have been around long enough to actually remember the Digg mass exodus to Reddit. I’m sure a lot of them are the newer users, who weren’t around for the Digg purge.

Absolutely. Thank you for all of your posts and this one.

Digg is in the middle of some big "reboot" of the site, with Alex Onhanian on board. They're in some invite-only preview for the last few months.

If you enjoy it then do it. Don't do with for an idea that you "should". Don't burn yourself out.

I just scrolled through your post history. Many of your posts are items I have read and/or scrolled past absorbing the headline. These have kept me, and others I speak with, informed. So I would say, definitely, and please continue.

Plus, it's much more likely you are reaching humans here.
