Hi my name is Stu. I am obviously new to Lemmy.world.
Just here to check out Technology community and others that peak my interest.
Welcome Stu!
There are a few technology communities, !technology@lemmy.world being the largest. If you have other more specific technology communities, there is !linux@programming.dev , !android@lemdro.id , !selfhosted@lemmy.world, !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Feel free if you have any questions
Thanks so much for the info 😁
If you check !main@lemmy.ca there’s a nice pinned new users thread there. Welcome!
Anyone else feeling like we’re edging towards critical mass these days?
Critical mass is still a ways away I think. I have noticed a stream of new accounts recently, some of which seem to be the type of dedicated users who post a lot, which has created a marked uptick in activity.
But critical mass - which I define as active niche non-tech communities thriving without having to rely on a single user doing 99% of the posting - is not achieved yet. I think probably at least the 100k MAU barrier has to be breached for that, if not more.
Agreed. General sports community like !Football@lemm.ee are still very quiet. Once they get busier, that will be a good sign.
I feel like the move off of .world probably lost that community some momentum, but that might not be true I don’t know. It’s been a bit more active recently though than for a long time, so that’s a good sign.
It was quiet on world too, and the pinned post there still redirects to the new one.
I was also posting there more, maybe that has an influence as well
I was just looking at the subscriber count difference a few days ago and noticed the stark difference. But most of those .world subscribers could be dead accounts.
I am noticing a marked increase in profiles I’ve checked being made in 2025, when in late 2024 it was a lot more of “2 years ago” folks. I’ve no idea what critical mass is but Reddit is slowly but steadily declining which is great news for us.
Hey Stu, welcome to lemmy. FYI the word is ‘pique’, not ‘peak’.
I see you’re trying to recreate the reddit experience ❤️
Ooohhh yeah that’s what I meant lol 😅
Welcome! I recommend taking a look at this list for some general good, active communities and also subscribing to !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca to find more.

Thanks 🙏 so much
