It’s not just lemmy that’s benefiting from Elon Musk.
my engagement rates on mastodon and bluesky have been significantly higher than twitter despite having 1/5 the number of followers
I get 5 bot followers a month since Elon took over twitter
yeah besides bot followers I mean like likes and people replying and being cool
Small town big city syndrome, in a small community you can conceivably know, recognise or otherwise relate to a good proportion of the people in your town, and anyone you don’t know you likely know people in common - but once a community gets big enough your brain can’t deal with it and your neighbours become an abstract concept, background noise, rather than people.

This type of comment is evidence Lemmy has attracted all types of reddit users.

It’s okay to say fuckin on Lemmy.
No fucking shit Sherlock.
just kidding asshole, hands in the air this is a sting!
I remember someone studied this real sociology. They watched people greeting each other in small towns and such and found that around the 1000 person mark people stopped greeting each other.
I’ve notice the same thing on hiking trails. If I only see a few people the whole day we not only greet each other but we may stop to chat. More people and you just say hi. A very popular trail though? You might get a nod.
