Is lemmy supposed to be a reddit replacement? What is the user count vs reddit? Is it worth it sticking around? I usually just casually scroll and read interesting random things, to which I may or may not get involved in, however, here my home page is empty and I probably have to subscribe to pages in order to see anything there.
You can subscribe, or view All and then you’ll see everything as its posted. But there will be a complete mix of stuff from different languages and interests, so you need to start subscribing to communities you like, or blocking communities that don’t interest you (for me that’s all of the anime / furry stuff).
It’s nowhere near as big as reddit, so it doesn’t have the same number of posts or range of interests. But I think the community is better, discussion more personal and popular posts have dozens of replies not hundreds, so it’s less faceless.
