Yeah I love Lemmy, but I feel like it's being held up by a few different people. I comment and even occasionally post to try and help with that, but it's kind of scary how much weight is on a few peoples' shoulders, and that's not even accounting for server owners and the devs
That's the way it is with every platform, you only have a comparatively small proportion of people who do a huge share of the posting.
Reddit has the advantage of being absolutely massive that the power posters is also still a huge number. I'd imagine even the biggest of entire Lemmy instances is smaller than some of the major subreddits, which personally I'm fine with. This emmy instance isn't some major corporation beholden to growing value for shareholders at all costs, but on the other end it still doesn't mean the admins can do everything without monetary or labor support from us.
I like to think I make a difference with my inane bullshit, but K O L A N A K absolutely has me beat. Can't even get top commenter on my small instance lol
The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.
To be perfectly fair, this is also the case even with real life friend groups, where there are generally that one or two friends who hold the friendship the most.
I try to post content, but I've found that it's certainly more clunky than submitting to reddit ever was. Share url to sync or jeroba isn't as smoooooth as submitting to reddit through RIF. I wish there was an easier way on desktop which is where I do most of my surfing.
Every time I submit something, it gets removed for not being in the proper community.
Like dude, the proper community doesn't exist and I don't have the time to mod a community!
