I like Lemmy. I really do.

In order to support the website, I have posted a shit-ton of original content.

Is what I’m doing actually useful? Or am I just wasting my time?

    Reddit wasn’t immediately known as the “front page of the Internet.” It took time to build up a reputation and tons of content before it started to get noticed and promoted by search engines.

    Lemmy is the same. It’s small now, but with enough content, it will eventually become a reference point like Reddit. Every little bit counts.

        The irony is that Digg has supposedly been working to absorb a lot of the Reddit refugees. Apparently if they’re not landing on Lemmy, they’re landing on Digg. It makes me wonder how many of the users have been around long enough to actually remember the Digg mass exodus to Reddit. I’m sure a lot of them are the newer users, who weren’t around for the Digg purge.

          Digg is in the middle of some big “reboot” of the site, with Alex Onhanian on board. They’re in some invite-only preview for the last few months.
