Why do you think teens are generally stupid?

From a marketing point it’s good. Of course popular do not equal good

Your comparidon doesn’t look negative to me considering how popular disney is

Fediverse make sense it is a combination of federation and universe. Pixelfed too, you get fed pixels aka images. Lemmy and mastodon may not have obvious connection to what they does but they are still catchier named than facebook, instagram and twitter.

Instagram make sense but it’s not catchy and use the name of a very old tech. I wonder how many young people still know about telegraphy machines. You are right m abiut mastodon but i think it’s still catchy and easy to remember

You think names like instagram or bard are any better?

I don’t see a reason to believe that the majority of users on Lemmy are Reddit refugees, because every time Reddit makes a bad decision, we see a boost in new users.

Technology is one of the most duplicated community name, yet Lemmy.world technology community is one of the most popular, so I don’t see community duplication as the biggest issue. The biggest problem with Lemmy and other fediverse app , was always that most people don’t understand the appeal of decentralization, because most of them never experienced censorship, so it doesn’t directly affect them. I think decentralized app creators should stop using decentralization as the main selling point, and focus instead about the fediverse being open source and about the diversity of clients you can use to navigate them. While also simplifying things like adding an pick a server for me, ability to merge communities with similar or same names, simplifying migration to other servers with the ability to migrate everything including posts.

Personally I rarely read usernames on lemmy and reddit

But that’s my point it wasn’t created organically one community at a time but a flood of clones with the same names at subreddits vs having there own identity

I would argue that people like familiarity like linux distros that looks familiar to windows has grown in popularity. Therefore using similar names to the one on reddit makes complete since to me and I don’t see it would affect the growth. As for have different content, since lemmy is less mainstream you will see less popular topics. Many communities has a good balance between mainstream topic and less popular content yet fail to make people participating

When you are almost the only one posting for more thsn 6 months, it make sens that s lot of community owners stop posting

Be careful, some of them support zionisms. There was two incidents of real estate events promoting property sales in the West Bank inside a synagogues
