I never expected this community to go viral

it's been like 2 years since i made this community. never thought it would be so many people (800+ people!) I literally made this community when I was like 15 and super into FOSS lmao

24 comments

800 people clicked subscribe but noone talks. This is 99.99% of Lemmy communities. :)
- People say this but every post I see has comments on it
  
  Yeah if you sort by Top or Active, you see posts with activity and this is the default behavior for most clients.
- 1 in 100 votes, of those 1 in 100 comments and of those 1 in 100 posts new stuff.
  
  I never understood why people dont post comments. It's really no effort to say something.
- Not specific to Lemmy. It's normal to have >99% consumers and <1% creators. You can do your part
- Although I know what you mean, it is not fully true for this community. In some of the posts there has been quite some discussions with even some more nice ideas and webpages popping up ;).
  
  Yeah it's OK the way things are now. Some nice discussions every day.
Not to be an ass but would you really say it’s “gone viral”?
- lemmy is way smaller than reddit
- well since lemmy is tiny compared to reddit the amount of subs means way more than on reddit lol i made this community when i was 15 years old, i literally never expected it to go "viral" lmao
:)
Congratultions & thank you @Eggcat@lemmy.ml I really love this community as there are so many wonderful ideas (websites) still to be discovered on the internet.

Do you have an idea, why for me only 24 subscribers (for sure not correct) are displayed?
- 24 people of your instance, feddit.de, have subscribed to the community.
  
  Ah this makes sense. Thank you for the explanation :) So seems about time to pull some fellow feddit members into this community.
We love you eggcat
I do self-criticism constantly because I’m trapped in a Maoist cult where comrades (white terrorists) criticize me mercilessly for having a fascist credit card (VISA Silver Signature Rewards)

They won’t let me order vegan pizza anymore because the phone is fascist and “summoning my pizza slaves with a bourgeois app" is “bad vibes”
- Give me some of what you're smoking.
