I was wondering what the point of lemmy was, if we can’t get a certain number of people, we won’t be able to thrive as a community and I don’t see lots of people joining even though it is an open-source and decentralised forum unlike reddit.

There are many obvious things lemmy could do better, should I make a report about it? I think we are lagging behind and not doing things which are obvious. A better GUI for mobile website would be one of the top suggestions I have. thoughs?

    @dessalines I think you misunderstood, I meant to ask whether comments and votes to lemmy post from other platforms are counted in Lemmy’s activities?

      Is it reactions, or votes? Afaik only lemmy votes are federated. What other platform has up and downvotes?

        @dessalines Since you mention it, one issue I find with the federation of votes is that from Friendica I can see who the voters are, while I assume Lemmy users may expect their votes to be secret.
