I’m really glad more people are seeing the value of the video platform.
The recently released app on the playstore has 1k downloads.
The app store has 2 reviews while the play store has none. Thats funny as android users tend to review more often.
It just goes to show when you build it, the people come.
Videos might also be more popular than text-based forums
True. Also the whole atmosphere of the community matters. And how useful a platform is. And not everybody likes arguing about things. But passively consuming videos is a different story. And the videos are embedded into other websites and Lemmy isn’t. Also a that size every single creator and their followers make a difference.
Now if only there were instances willing to actually host anything worth watching.
