        Not a bad thing if true. I’d prefer a slow and steady growth. Let the more dedicated people among us build a stable foundation, then people will switch organically. I almost feel bad for being here in some sense because I have a very general understanding of how Lemmy even works.

        I know that it’s open-source and decentralized, but I struggled/struggle to understand what instances are, what communities are which, what server I joined, how communities are moderated and where to find rules…etc. I really want to gain traction in regional team subs with game day threads for Lemmy, but I have no idea how to code a bot to post them automatically with auto updating game info and stats.

          If it makes you feel better, I probably understand Lemmy less well than you, so if you’re a misfit, so am I, lol. I see my role here as “someone to put words in the databases other people build.”

      If they all came from Instagram, or is used to how Instagram is, I’m not suprised this happens. People use Insta for likes only, not comments/discussions. Sadly.
