so i just saw this post in the new all feed ... was deleted the moment i wanted to open it for being "off topic".

pls, everyone, be nice to new users. don't just remove their first post for being "off topic". we're already having a problem of not getting enough new users (link)

What other reasons can be given for post deletion? Lemmy isn't worse off due to that post no longer being here.

The graph is surprising, I expected the opposite, due to reddit becoming more and more reddity every day, along with the current political/social climate in multiple countries. It seems a good time for people to want something different.

    Honestly, I use Reddit more now that I’m also on the threadiverse. There’s active local content and more Reddits and posts tied to the genres of books I read. Yes, I should be the change I want to see, but there’s only so much of that I can do.

    The "active local content" even here in australia , is often trash on reddit, it still has that murican feel to it. No doubt that varies by location, and subject though. My reddit feed most days is completely empty, it's more for if I want to look something up, or ask a question about something (guaranteed mixed results there of course, but probably no worse than any other platform).

    That's counterbalanced by the fact Lemmy is acquiring more and more of a reputation as a tankie bar.

    When I made an instance, I decided not to advertise it as a particular platform. It's MULTIVERSE, it's a social media app, that's pretty much what you need to know.

    If lemmy is getting a "reputation as a tankie bar" and that is keeping the type of people away who repeatedly regurgitate tankie, leftist etc, that will lower the quantity of users, but the quality ratio will improve.
