Personally subscribed to 126, and it's steadily growing by 2-4 each week. But curious to how many you are subscribed to too. Feel free to share your favorite community too!

You can use Photon webUI (if your instance supports it) to easily check this; https://photon..tld.

112 but at least half are silent/gone. What are your favs?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it’s interesting what lives and what doesn’t. Star Trek stuff…? Still big on the website. LOTR stuff? Basically a dead corpse.

I really wonder how long Lemmy will really last. It really feels like a website sustained by like 5 dudes mostly reposting content, with any actual discussion becoming increasingly circlejerk-y as time goes on.

Any problem in reposting content?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

No, but it’s not really indicative of a healthy, long lasting website if essentially all of its posts are just coming from other websites. Why would anyone come here if they could just go on twitter or Reddit or wherever else and see the content directly?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Because the whole point is to leave the platforms from BigTech behind?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I’m not sure how much of an ethical stand that is if all the content is still imported from “big tech”.

It’s like starting a farming commune but then still buying everything from Walmart

I'm losing track of how many times I will have to repeat the term at first, but seems like people miss it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You haven’t said ‘at first’ at any point in talking to me.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Yeah, you are right. I confused with another thread where I was having a similar discussion, but with people that do not want to leave Discord despite its constant enshittification.
