niche community will work?
I’m interested in your ideas and strategies.
additionally not quite related to the topic.
Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to register on BlueSky, or rather, I managed to, but my account was blocked for suspicious activity a second after registration. Idk why.
Hmmmm, I find that to be a fools errand as long as Reddit is “alive and kicking”.
It took a troublesome Windows 11 for people to start migrating to Linux (even though I firmly believe that the numbers of poeple switching to Linux are inflated). (I myself am a Linux user).
Or to be more blunt. Reddit functions in something that can be called Mature Product Phase, and/or Saturated Market. And as long as you have a big main Brand that isn’t suddendly making bad decisions, you’ll always remain a niche product. Take Coca-cola for example. For 99% of people the default choice is Coca-cola, not because they have a strong prefence for it, but because it’s an easy and safe choice.
People who drink other brands drink it BECAUSE ______________ . And as long as Coca-Cola doesn’t do something to give that BECAUSE to the average Joe there’s just no incentive to switch.
The same goes for Reddit. We’re all here because we have our own BECAUSE why we’re here. And as long as something doesn’t happen that would give that BECAUSE to the average Joe, Lemmy would remain a niche product.
That’s not a sign that there’s anything wrong with Lemmy, It’s just the reality of how the Market works.
