People are lazy and use what they are accustomed to. As long as it doesn’t affect them that much, they wont change.
The best example is WhatsApp in that regard. I don’t know how many of your friends & family still use this, but it’s astonishing in bubble at least and their policies have a drastically bigger impact for the individual user than any changes on Reddit users.
The problem I see on lemmy in particular is that there are only a few users yet. If this gets better, the casual user will join too. (Network Effect)
To me it seems that the Community here is growing slowly but steadily and so far it appears to be a much more friendly place than I remember
r/guildwars2to be.Yeah, the community here seems nice so far. Although I did encounter some Teapot-chat-level doomers on here as well.
i really hope that network effect starts soon
I mean you “just” need a critical mass of users. At this point you wont see much difference in content posted anyway.
Don’t dwell too much on it. I don’t think the average GW2 player cares about it at all. It’s probably a matter of convenience and the fact that the subreddit will show up a lot on Google search results.
The best thing we can do is make sure there is an alternative, which is what we are trying to do here. This community will probably never be as big as the subreddit, but that is okay. We just need to be a viable alternative 😉
basically the title, why is the sub, after all the bullshit the reddit admins did, still so popular?
I understand that a lot of knowledge is still on reddit but we should be able to build something here too, right ?
For me after all they did and with the death of apollo there is no turning back, so i deleted my 2008ish account and never looked back and I hope that we can build a community here at Lemmy 😊
The majority of users don’t care.
I will never understand how you can use the reddit app, it’s just utter shit.
On the other hand, if you only know the reddit app you never knew what you miss out on
If the majority uses official reddit app or browser, then nothing changed for them.
Because the mods are still there. Lemmy needs a PR group to bring them here. Key group are the ask historian guys
but weren’t the mods very upset about the new api rules from reddit and very eager into striking? Why do they stay there and let themselves bullied by some lowlife reddit admins?
Our species isn’t inherently moral and is reeaaaaly bad at dealing with abstract problems or even dangers. Every other year the USA coups democratically elected leader to replace them with an autocratic dictator that turns his nation into yet another banana republic in exchange for power, and quite literally not a single fucking soul cares whatsoever at all. How much do you think people care about amoral pricing in video games or some CEO bringing the boot down on his unpaid internet bootlickers? Until we’re personally affected (at which point it’s usually too late), we’re pretty much fine with everything. And next to nobody is personally affected by fuck u/spez.
Everything that is not a drawed character gets anyway downvoted there. I cant stand this subreddit
I miss the fanart though. Will probably be doing something about that at some point.
that’s the spirit :)
