I think it still has potential but it needs more time to grow
There were lots of interesting online communities with great information and conversations before Reddit but they mostly died out as people moved on to other platforms. It’s a tale as old as time.
Lemmy’s just a platform and communities take a while to grow and there’s no guarantee they even will
I wouldnt quite go that far, but reddit has the numbers and thus they have the content. There are sometimes post that I will see for 4-5 days in a row on my “home page”, whereas on reddit its not out of the question to back 6-8 hours later and have a totally new string of content. Certainly every day there is a full, new page of links on almost any well populated sub.
Kind of hard to stick around when that is the case
Because it’s just a circlejerk for the most part and it’s not particularly useful
Lots of good content here but I’m never going to use it to the same extent I used reddit

Change your sorting method. I like Top 6 Hours. You can also change your default in your user settings
