What is lemmy about?
-
To your third question: yes. I actually moved here a couple of years ago from reddit, due to that API nonsense. It's a smaller community, with much less content. But honestly, it's better this way.
Smaller doesn't mean worse I guess, but I'll try to preach to everyone I know in reddit to make the leap for sure now

Like reddit but feels like an actual community. Just be forewarned, there are angry troglodytes here, just like any other online forum. Keep the positive, ignore the negative. Many people say to block .ml/etc adresses as they are here only to flame, but I haven't seen that correlation yet.
Good to keep this in mind, I guess

I really feel more sense of community here

Is lemmy supposed to be a reddit replacement? What is the user count vs reddit? Is it worth it sticking around? I usually just casually scroll and read interesting random things, to which I may or may not get involved in, however, here my home page is empty and I probably have to subscribe to pages in order to see anything there.

It is a forum Website. The same way every shooter game is not a doom clone and every car is not a Ford clone.

relevancy. As long as you find people to talk with, that is irrelevant.
Is it worth it sticking around?
You decide.
however, here my home page is empty and I probably have to subscribe to pages in order to see anything there.
I would count it as a positive, that Lemmy is not shoving me posts up my ass that I may or may not even want to see, just so I create more content/Data for advertisers. If I want to eat, I go to a community and eat the things I want. I don't want to be force fed like a pig.
Or even if I want non personalized stuff, I just go to the all tab.

Lemmy is my personal soapbox where I can scream into the void without the fear of corporate censorship.
I almost never get censored on most instances because I act like a normal human being never post stupid bigoted stuff like a conservative jackass lol.

People don't like to be preached to, or converted to something they know nothing about, especially if they're happy with what they already have.
Yes it would be nice if there were more members on Lemmy, but I prefer if people make their own choice to seek it out themselves.

- sort by "all" to get a better feel for the fediverse
- try piefed if you want an easier time discovering communities of interest to you. (similar to lemmy, talks to lemmy, but its not lemmy)
