Is it really even possible to create a 'successful ' lemmy instance? (lemmy.ml)

Ok , here we go.

I like lemmy a lot.

Mastodon and all the others are too complicated with too many dam options for threads. Not to mention I hate the Twitter layout.

Like look,

I want lemmy to have more users. The lack of engagement here is just beyond sad.

I've seen a lot of lemmy instances with like 1 user a month. Seriously? What the fuck?

I'm entertaining a thought to create a lemmy instance, but is there even a point? Should i even bother?

I feel like the issue with these reddit alternatives, is the LACK of content and users.

What do you think?

Yeah I think lack of content and engagement is a problem.

I agree in many ways with the politics of the devs but I think it means that lemmy instances generally attract a pretty narrow range of people. Want to talk politics and tech? Lemmy isn't bad. Want to see cute pictures of cats? Not much here.

I think it also doesn't help that the native app for it isn't great. I can't get jerboa to login and lemmur has some seriosy ux issues.

Facts. I'm actually using the web version because the apps are just less convenient.
