Sorry dude, you'll have to subtract one unfortunately. I created a NSFW account to have two different home feeds.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Ummm. I have a friend that has a 2nd NSFW account too.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's pretty cool.

I'm truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We're doing great though! Good trajectory.

I don't need Lemmy to compete with or kill Reddit. All I wanted was any one platform to get enough of an influx of users to be self-sustaining even after the outrage started to die down, which appears to have been successful.

[–] relative_iterator@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah as long as we have an active enough community here it doesn’t matter what goes on at reddit.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It kinda does in that when things worsen, more people come to Lemmy, but I agree that Lemmy's success doesn't depend on reddit's demise.

[–] Historical_General@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It should behave as a viable and threatening adversary for reddit. As long as reddit carries on doing as it does and lemmy's communities carry on building, we're winning by blocking Reddit's monopoly on mainstream forum-type social media.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I guess what I'm saying is: Lemmy won't kill reddit, reddit will kill reddit.

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly. I don’t want or need to build another McDonalds or Starbucks; I just want to go to the Mom and Pop down the road without worrying if they’ll tank.

[–] TheRedBadger@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This is exactly it

[–] RatzChatsubo@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I can confidently say now that this is a legit Reddit alternative

[–] Meowoem@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've genuinely not missed it, been just over two weeks and I've been having so much fun here I haven't once found myself at a loose end wondering whats happening on Reddit

Which is surprising considering i still run quite a few subs I started and mod a few medium sized ones, when I get back home in a couple of weeks I'll convert my bots to message me via lemmy instead and I really don't think I'll be going back
