It had potential, but after becoming an ai news aggregator now there’s none.

Low engagement / kinda dead. Also, I have heard that the growth is slowing down(somebody pls provide a citation for this).
Besides that, it’s pretty much reddit, for better or for worse.
9gag:
I just made a post there, my first impressions are not good. Got insulted and my post got removed. Now, that might have something to do with me not understanding how the website works, but only time will tell. I will spend more time there to see if it’s worth anything.

Lemmy is pretty great. Growth isn’t as important when profit isn’t the goal, and I like having a lot of communists. It might appear more dead from your side because you’re not on an instance federated with most of them, though. Lemmy.world is definitely more similar to reddit.
Ebaum’s world will be back on top any day now
I like the fediverse based alternatives. Lemmy, piefed, MBin(or something like that - never tried it). Feels more like building a community. Most corparate Digital Media for me feel more like being forced to go there.
Lemmy is not dead at all. It’s just doesn’t have hundreds of millions. There are many vibrant communities, like this one

LMAO I feel targeted
Touché
Exactly. There is a community set up, but posts are daily at best with only a few comments.
Honestly, that’s enough for me. I don’t want to spend hours here. A few minutes are enough.
