Hi my name is Stu. I am obviously new to Lemmy.world.
Just here to check out Technology community and others that peak my interest.
Hey Stu, welcome to lemmy. FYI the word is ‘pique’, not ‘peak’.
I see you’re trying to recreate the reddit experience ❤️
Ooohhh yeah that’s what I meant lol 😅
Welcome!
Thanks 🙏 so much
Welcome!
Welcome Stu!
There are a few technology communities, !technology@lemmy.world being the largest. If you have other more specific technology communities, there is !linux@programming.dev , !android@lemdro.id , !selfhosted@lemmy.world, !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Feel free if you have any questions
Thanks so much for the info 😁
If you check !main@lemmy.ca there’s a nice pinned new users thread there. Welcome!
Anyone else feeling like we’re edging towards critical mass these days?
Critical mass is still a ways away I think. I have noticed a stream of new accounts recently, some of which seem to be the type of dedicated users who post a lot, which has created a marked uptick in activity.
But critical mass - which I define as active niche non-tech communities thriving without having to rely on a single user doing 99% of the posting - is not achieved yet. I think probably at least the 100k MAU barrier has to be breached for that, if not more.
Agreed. General sports community like !Football@lemm.ee are still very quiet. Once they get busier, that will be a good sign.
I feel like the move off of .world probably lost that community some momentum, but that might not be true I don’t know. It’s been a bit more active recently though than for a long time, so that’s a good sign.
It was quiet on world too, and the pinned post there still redirects to the new one.
I was also posting there more, maybe that has an influence as well
I was just looking at the subscriber count difference a few days ago and noticed the stark difference. But most of those .world subscribers could be dead accounts.
I am noticing a marked increase in profiles I’ve checked being made in 2025, when in late 2024 it was a lot more of “2 years ago” folks. I’ve no idea what critical mass is but Reddit is slowly but steadily declining which is great news for us.
Welcome! I recommend taking a look at this list for some general good, active communities and also subscribing to !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca to find more.
Whaddup Stu(d)!
