Lemmy doesn't have any competitors, it isn't competing. It isn't what you think it is. You are still using a corporate framing for a non corporate system. There is no company, there is no manger, there is no goal. This measurement is only to say 35k people are using it now, but it doesn't matter is my entire point. "Lemmy" is a federated network for enthusiasts with no corporate direction that is still in early development. There is no competitor, growth isn't the purpose of it, it is software made by communists.

Glazed Wadi

I love wadi/soy chunks but I have to soak them in room temp water first, then squeeze them out, then put into water and squeeze it inside the bowl of water a few times to wring it out like a sponge, change the water and do it again. It opens up the space between the textured soy and makes it absorb flavors much better

Quadruple moderation is killing lemmy. It’s a Gift to Reddit

Lemmy just isn't what you think it is. The monthly user count doesn't matter. If people wanted reddit content they would just go to Reddit. Lemmy is a replacement for the small scale human authored forums of the 2000s. Reddit killed them with embrace, extend, extinguish. Lemmy isn't a replacement for Reddit, it is a replacement for the thing Reddit extinguished.

I don't care about reddit posts and traditional social media. If I did I would just use that. I use reddit to moderate and participate in my small community with a few posts a week and I think it is going well.

MAU is a number that matters to corporations and advertisers. No one running a Lemmy server is either of these so that metric isn't really useful or say anything.

Lemmy has been going for 6 years now and it is still new. It isn't even version 1.0. Success in Lemmy is not what you think it is. The most successful Lemmy server is Hexbear because it stands alone and is growing the community they want.
