How big is lemmy nowadays
-
I don't see a reason to believe that the majority of users on Lemmy are Reddit refugees, because every time Reddit makes a bad decision, we see a boost in new users.
Technology is one of the most duplicated community name, yet Lemmy.world technology community is one of the most popular, so I don't see community duplication as the biggest issue. The biggest problem with Lemmy and other fediverse app , was always that most people don't understand the appeal of decentralization, because most of them never experienced censorship, so it doesn't directly affect them. I think decentralized app creators should stop using decentralization as the main selling point, and focus instead about the fediverse being open source and about the diversity of clients you can use to navigate them. While also simplifying things like adding an pick a server for me, ability to merge communities with similar or same names, simplifying migration to other servers with the ability to migrate everything including posts.

Can I have that in rods and furlongs?

Now I'm imagining someone has me tagged as "data slut" from a thread last week about our jobs
-
that's about 30 toothpaste length

Well also on reddit there was a lot of Psyops shit going on with accounts being puppeted. By one org or another to manipulate the discussion. Reddit is a bigger target for that kind of shit. Lemmy gets the benefit like Linux used to have of being too small on the desktop side to be a target for the most part.

I've had to measure parcels in "chains and rods" when updating archaic plat books! That's when I decided GIS may not be for me.
Still got the degree bc I was too far into the degree and couldn't afford extra tuition.
Nowadays, I can read a map about as well as the average person!

Quality > quantity. Lemmy still has some trolls and the usual misunderstandings, but people are here bc they want to be, not bc its the only option

I agree! I definitely prefer Lemmy over Reddit, for sure.

I just created [email protected] but not taking signups so you have to use an account from a federated instance.

https://lemmyverse.net/ in there you can search instances and communities, and If you Have an account on a y lemmy servwe you can use Its search function or if You use clients as Jerboa you can search communities with Its search function.
I follow a lot of communities on Lemmy most of them are not as actives as their peers on Reddit but there are -
And here I thought chains were only used for cricket and train tracks.

I remember in the early days people saying that Lemmy wasn't succeeding. Very frustrating to hear because it was like the very early days. And look at it now!
