A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You may not like my answer but here goes: Time will tell.
Those who have jumped ship indefinitely will build a community here in the Fediverse. Those who miss Reddit too much will return there and use the official app.
By staying you are building something new. It may not be Reddit, and it may never be Reddit. But there are still millions of users who are here to stay and will become a community.
I hope it will not become a "they" vs "us" thing. Both platforms can exist peacefully, the same way Facebook and Twitter coexist.
Perhaps a difference in content style or format will appear in time, which will make people choose one platform over the other. But that's not bad. Competition is healthy.
I'm staying, and I'm curious to see where Lemmy is going. All I can do is contribute to making it a place I want to hang out in.
Regardless of who stays and who goes back I fully expect we will see sharing of content with reddit here just like we saw content from Twitter and TikTok over there. I'm not worried in the slightest about "missing" something.
Hate to be that person, but the lemmyverse has about 160k people as of this morning. If you include Mastodon it's millions, but they aren't likely to interact as much with lemmy users.
Seriously? Where do you get this number? I believe the lemmy.world admin said they had 100k users yesterday.
If they said that then it changes things. I'm going off this tracker
https://the-federation.info/platform/73
It could just be lagging behind whatever lemmy.world mentioned, things are moving so fast that a few hours can make a world of difference.
You're giving me some more hope.
I'm sure I have misremembered. No one's near the 100k number.
I think it's interesting that despite lemmy.world having less users than lemmy.ml it has way more active users. Something to do with improved stability?
of which some 80k are new, and of which some 20k are counted as active. not great, not terrible, we'll see what becomes out of this
I saw the 100k number yesterday too being attributed to an instance but I think that was counting all users across all Lemmy instances not just lemmy.ml or .world.
