    Impressive, I guess, but how many of those 2 million posts have a single comment? If 90% of these are just bots reposting things from Reddit with no further engagement…

      The content will bring in users. I try to comment on interesting topics to help drive engagement.

        This is my thoughts as well. I’ve noticed that once one or two people express interest in a post, it tends to get much more traffic

      Hey! Some of those posts with no comments are me posting pictures of cute bugs that I took! I’m not a bot, I’m just not very interesting.

    If RiF ports their app to Lemmy, have it as nearly functionally as it was on Reddit as possible while accommodating the ways lemmy is different, I think it would be a winner.

      I’d love for RiF to be ported to Lemmy. I’m using Sync now but I don’t feel it’s as good as RiF was to me.

        Boost is coming. Did you try Liftoff or Connect? They can be good Rif alternatives

          I’m testing Sync and Connect. I’ve just installed Liftoff, will see if I like it but it seems promising. I’ll try Boost once available as I’ve heard good things about its Reddit version.

      Are there any plans of doing that, though? I’m a lifelong RIF user and would love for it to work on here 🥺

    I bit the bullet after I read there the Sync app was released. Now I’m lurking until I find the communities I love best… and it feels like they’re already starting to spring up. If I had the time to, I’d make and mod them myself.

    So it seems like lemmy is still improving in content, even though the reddit situation has stabilised. That is awesome to see!

    I know a lot of communities are trying to get more popular by using bots to post relevant content. And generally they do a great job, its like an aggregator inside an aggregator. woa dude. Post engagement might be a better metric, but this graph is visually more impressive.
