Sounds like we should get this place ready for another wave of people
The wave has started. I just moved from there to here, after they enforced ID checks and require email or phone number.
Welcome!

Thank you :)
Welcome! I know it can be confusing at first.
FYI, Lemmy, MBin/KBin, and Piefed are all different servers. People often say Lemmy when they mean threadiverse as a whole. It's kinda like email though, even if you use gmail, I can email you from yahoo. The interface may vary a little, but the core function is the same.
Thank you :)
Fediverse needs that. There's just not enough people to attain the one cool thing about reddit, that was having a couple people create communities around basically any niche hobby you could think of.
Only very generic topics or ultra-popular stuff get some traction, and in many cases it's barely a blip.
A problem I've seen also is creating a niche community because you don't want to just get the general content, but since there's simple fewer users it's just dead. And when someone else thinks about switching to Lemmy, they see a bunch of dead communities and are like "oh this site is dead."
It's annoying but on a newer site(/federation of sites) those niche communities need to be conversations that start in a more generalized community that enough people want to branch it off into it's own thing. So there's already core users, so it's not DOA.
Ugh
"September again?" he complained after having arrived last September.
