The problem is that in order to become a proper reddit replacement Lemmy needs enough users to create niche communities.

There are plenty of active communities related to technology and politics but there is no equivalent to r/batmanarkham or r/letgirlshavefun.

Plus there are plenty of communities that are all but abandoned. We need more people to actually be a proper forum.

I’m sorry Richard, I’m not calling it GNU plus Linux no matter how accurate it is.
