I know Kbin will grow in time but I miss how huge Reddit was.

Ehh…as someone who was on Reddit and Digg back in the day, they were much larger than Lemmy currently is.

Sure but the fediverse isn't just Lemmy. I'm commenting through kbin right now for example.

They weren't born large. Reddit was seeded with content by the developers before the users came. The secret to growing a community is to grow a community. It all has to start somewhere and frankly, fediverse is starting with a much stronger kick start than digg and Reddit ever had.

Reddit was seeded with content by the developers before the users came.

That makes me wonder how people would feel about copying content from other platforms using bots in order to boost some communities. Those that have <1k subscribers could use some seeding.

There's a project underway to do just that @BotIt

As someone who was on Reddit and Digg way way back in the day, there was a point where they were about the size of what Lemmy currently is.
