    I just checked the Star Trek community on reddit and it’s still up with 753k members and 189 online. The Lemmy versions I can find are a fraction of that.

    The idea of Lemmy is great but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking big communities actually migrated.

      Depends on what your standard is, to me a community on here having 100+ daily users is already a huge success. I don’t think people expect the whole subreddit to migrate, just enough to have roughly the same amount of content/interaction.

        Then its not a migration, which is what we’re talking about.

        If you’re happy leaving a group of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands in some communities for a group of 100 that’s cool, but don’t spin it as a successful migration.

        The rest of the world didn’t even realize we left.
