At the moment my main gripe is that people still refuse to move to other platforms despite it all. I want to scream "It's not going to get better, folks!" at them all of the time. But I am too tired to do it.
I wonder would one reason be that if "the most" of the community is there, it's just better to be there with the folks and the content rather than take a leap to a much smaller place and feel small or lonely or something like that…
(I haven't used kbin/lemmy for more than an hour - seeing whether this is a new place to stay)
Yes, of course. The network effect is buoying up Reddit as it is and probably will be until a critical mess of users leave it for good. Besides the obvious truth that Lemmy/Kbin are slower and that's not what Redditors are used to who have learned to expect something new every time they update their frontpage.
