    You just got used to have millions of users on sub, and forgot that tens of thousands of users is a lot. Especially New users, who is going to read and comment a lot, compared to reddit with half of users being, like, not active at all.

      Makes sense. A friend of me unfortunately turns Lemmy down because the largest instance has “only” 1.6k users

        I’m going to bee honest, the mascot was a big factor in picking this instance for me.

          Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

              Yeah, I saw that too, but other places I signed up still haven’t approved me, so I signed up here.

              I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.
