Yeah, I’d argue that the project can be good and not widely used. Do you think that there are projects with real use case and are great open source software and not widely used because its buried under the *s?

It could be a relatively inexpensive way for niche marketing. Especially if the developer has a payment option with the software. Probably a decent way to get the software out in the open for profitability, no?

It is, right? I found it here.

It is fascinating because of how small (relatively) the community is on Lemmy.

Yes, objectively. I wasn’t intending for that message to be in question.

Yeah, I get your point. But the question still remains. Lemmy objectively has more engagement/interaction regardless of the category of social media of each medium.

If you compare X to Lemmy, X has more engagement/interaction… And they are separate social media platforms categorically. Yet, Mastodon trumps Lemmy’s user count by nearly 10 fold…

It stands to question that with a fraction of the users on Lemmy, why is the interaction/engagement considerably higher?
