For mods: I hope it's okay, if not feel free to remove it, but as a lot of people were commenting on the other thread while the reason of the change had been given in the top comment, I thought it was worth it to make a dedicated post.
this place still feels much emptier than reddit :(
That's a good thing. Less argumentative assholes and memelords rehashing the same tired old crap.
*Fewer argumentative assholes.

That's a good thing for me. There's an actual end to the scrolling and since there are less people, the engagement rate is way way better than reddit. While there is still some drama cough ^vegan ^cats cough, it's still a better place in my experience. Although I miss the niche communities, but even the niche communities on reddit has pretty much imploded because of the monetization making the mods implementing some strange policies that neuters what made the subreddit great like trustull or formuladank.
Use the All function and when something bubbles up to you that you like, subscribe to it.
Took me a few weeks before I could stop browsing all. Using Voyager helped.
It looks live you've been here for two months, how is it so far? You mention Lemmy being emptier, which topics interest you? Maybe we can suggest you a few communities.
tbh- I had made my account 2 months ago, but ONLY STARTED USING IT just a week ago cus I was locked out for whatever reason. I had forgotten about it then but now im desperate for a reddit replacement because reddit wont answer back my 20 appeals :' )
Im interested in shitposting, Costume construction/cosplay, I also ask a lotta questions n stuff, Home DIY improvement is a new one... That should be most of it.
I've been here never. 😄 (or for centuries, depending on your client 🤣)
Reddit has millions of active users.
Does anyone know what the requirement is to be considered an active user? Does this count lurkers who don't post or does simply viewing content include them? Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, I'm just curious and lazy

So lemmy.world is still excluded from the list but the active users from it are counted in?
Yes, essentially.
Is this only users on Lemmy instances?
Yeah, it's a site dedicated specifically to Lemmy. So Mbin and Piefed are not counted, neither is Mastodon or any other service. :)
