I don’t see Old Reddit lasting long. They’ve cut beloved features before, and they’re still calling New Reddit a “beta feature”. After they’ve pumped enough resources into developing it, I’m sure they’ll move past the “test” phase and just cut Old Reddit out entirely. That’s probably going to be Lemmy’s next big user surge.
Does Reddit suppress mentioning Lemmy? I remember for a while this past June 2023 there were a lot of auto-deletions for mentioning or linking to Lemmy. I was never clear on who was deleting things and where. I guess linking to the r/Lemmy subreddit (or a fediverse sub) could work as long as the subreddit doesn’t get banned.
Yeah thats what I meant when I said users. Would be nice to have more active users. When I made the paradoxgames community I think I was kinda lucky since at that time I could make a lot of posts about upcoming games. But smaller games/ communities dont have that luxury, so I guess they feel a bit more deserted.
Ok now I’m just starting to ramble. So yeah having more actives users is a must if people want Lemmy to feel nicer.
