That’s cool, a new social media thing needs delusional people like you at first, otherwise it will never build up the critical mass of users it needs to actually get good. (:
There’s a video that shows exactly this phenomenon in real time.
The most important people are the first followers. A website with a guy commenting alone is sad for the guy. A website with a couple people commenting is sad for whoever’s not talking.
For the smaller communities that came over, like my local city sub, I already like it more. I’m sure the toxicity will return, but for now it’s very nice.
Tbh I’m pretty confident that I’m the only one in my hometown using lemmy so far
Just post some neat things about your hometown in your local sub and see if activities grow 😁
