So, lemmy is a project I have been following since the beggining. With federation here, it seems like everything is aligned for it to become the reddit killer, pardon my expression.
What do you think is missing from lemmy for it to have a massive engaging community?
Large userbase without the xenophobic, homophobic, racist and discriminatory scum. Lemmy is growing in a slow yet steady direction, and I am here to assist admins in building it up (thanks Skeleton for bringing me here).
I do not like what and how Reddit is (50% USA 30% West EU audience), consisting of straight up racist discriminatory and even white/Anglo supremacist moderators, and power trippy moderators as well supported by corporate consumerist users, banning people without context and hiring pedophilics as admins like Aimee Challenor and protecting them via sitewide ban rules.
We’ve been lucky that our growth has been slow enough that the moderation workload has been manageable, but its gonna be a constant struggle as we scale up. I’m really glad to be part of a community committed to standing against white supremacy and bigotry.
Quality over quantity all the way
Yah lemmy in my book already has what it needs to be successful long term which is a core community of relatively friendly, interesting people
