  • I don’t actually think it’s got much to do with having a phone app or not. I see what you are saying with the medium being the message, but I don’t think the “medium” is phones or computers.

    You’re right about the medium being the message though, it’s just that the medium is a nerdy federated social media. Right now we are in the first or second big wave of new users. Not quite the nerdiest of the nerds who would have been using Lemmy since the beginning, but we are getting the “early adopters” and the people willing to go out on a limb to try something new. These are the kinds of people who are likely to interact with a community in a positive way, because they are already investing themselves into something before it is established.

    I am using a phone app to write this message right now, it was really easy and accessible for me to login and get to grips with the UI. There are loads of people just like me, in fact I would be willing to bet Lenny is being used by 80% mobile users. It’s just how we communicate with the world these days. Very few people browse social medias on a computer.
