I just wanted to peek at the front page. I guess they don’t want people to use their shit anymore. I’m starting to believe in the dead internet theory.

I’m all for staying here on Lemmy: Lemmings are nicer than Redditors and the place is a lot higher S/N ratio.
But… sadly, due to inertia, Reddit is still where a lot of stuff is squarely at. There are long-established Reddit communities - often nice, well behaved communities - that don’t give a toss about the Reddit drama, and are simply not interested in moving out.
I’ve been trying to kickstart an equivalent Reddit community here on Lemmy for almost a year. While there’s a handful of members, it’s basically just me infrequently posting in it. The original one on Reddit has almost 10K members, is fairly active, and clearly none of the members know anything about Lemmy - much less want to create an account and join my insignificant equivalent community. I keep it around in case Reddit enshittifies to such an extent that even those who don’t care start taking notice. But at the moment, inertia is much too strong.
Seems like the Bats community here on Lemmy.world was popular due to some new posts every day.
which community? I tried to see if I could swing by to support your budding community whatever it is, so I had a look through your posts and couldnt see a community you moderate?

Strange because the first thing I see when I open my profile in a private window is that single community I moderate.
It’s nice of you to want to help but it’s the kind of community you typically join only when you’re unlucky enough to be concerned 🙂
haha yeah thats a pretty specific topic dude :) I’d say keep it up, someone who’d be happy to see it here will some day join lemmy and it’ll mean something to them
I hear you, when I look at my profile I see that I moderate https://lemm.ee/c/badreligion (same problem, thousands back on whatever its called and a few upvotes, but rarely a comment. time and patience; we’ll rule over c/ empires someday you and I
