The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn’t quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.
I once saw Yo-Yo Ma perform at a Borders book store in Boston.
allow me to introduce you to https://lemmy.world/c/tonightsdinner it’s pretty much that except playing in the empty back room of the library - cooks come and post please
Or like if an A-list Hollywood actress suddenly started marketing her new summer blockbuster on a small forum of mostly tech workers.
Sure makes you think.
Guess we’ll never know why Tara Reid did a reddit AMA in 2015 just to market “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” now.
BLAHAJ TORADO?
The loudest band so far seems to be the “memes” band.
IDK but if, say, Motörhead came to a 50 seat library in some small town it would be kinda cute and would make the library famous, and it would make all other libraries envy them in a good way.
Edit: just learned that Lemmy died 8 years ago. Just imagine I said Imagine Dragons or something…
I will imagine Imagine Dragons.

But they’re not Lemmy. :-\
Enjoy the intimate atmosphere while it last. The hordes will find us eventually.
You can always have your own universe within the fediverse.
Small communities and slow content feeds are fine for me I think. Either way I’m glad I’m here to witness this liminal period.
👍
That is good since we are all beta testing the site and developing tools to manage everything before the real migration occurs.
Real migration? Who would be migrating? The 90% we left behind?
No, thank you.
Eventually more will come.
The more the merrier.
You can move to smaller universes if that’s what you see fit.
No, in this case, the more is not the merrier. Otherwise you end up with the reddit shitshow.
You can choose to be on smaller instances that only federate with smaller instances.
Having more people gives us more options.
Fair enough.
When Bush were at the height of their success, I saw them in a little 300 person room. It was brilliant and we should appreciate Lemmy while it is in that state.
