Frikkin’ awesome

Very interesting; thank you

Good idea

I feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.

The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.

I’m staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don’t know what the answer is.

Agreed. It’s one of the more creepy aspects of social media that mostly leads to “gotchas” (“oh your account is only 2 months old? your opinion is invalid!”) and stalker-ish behavior – and one I wish fediverse had learned from instead of copied.

helps to boost posts from less active communities to the top

Nice!! This and the instance-blocking are welcome changes.

monthly active users I would guess

I just want an option to “hide downvoted posts” like reddit had… I’m tired of seeing the instance-stickied announcements hang around forever in my feed

Yep. LeetCode medium difficulty puzzles is the de facto / unofficial standard, and even if you’re a pretty good programmer, those are tough to do in a timed 45 minute thing with some stranger watching every character you type :-(
