I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

            Yes, but you’re still right. The niche content isn’t there and won’t be until the user base reaches critical mass, which might never happen.

              Brother I found communities for mushrooms and small birbs where I could share my photos of mushrooms and small birbs.

          My subscribed feed has top posts from days ago. Specific communities like virtual reality or mountain biking or classical guitar are basically empty.

          That said I don’t use reddit and consider my boutique feed a sacrifice to the internet gods until lemmy has more population.

          I’m not sure about others but I’m missing news and information from my home town. Reddit was my go-to for that.

            That’s too many subscribers anyway. 90% of the comments would’ve just been buried and no one would’ve seen them

              Yes, 100 to 200 comments per thread are easily enough, but lots of medium sized subreddits don’t even exist or are barely active on Lemmy.

      There just are no alternatives to some things on there. So I’m stuck having to check in at least once every day.

          Some people use it for more than just entertainment and killing time. Like getting advice on certain topics like parenting or relationships. How to deal with a partner with certain conditions etc. You can’t find that on lemmy.

            If you have to check parenting advice on reddit every day, you shouldn’t have had children in the first place.
