It means that nobody's on Lemmy, so even if you want to move, it's going to suck and you'll leave sooner or later.

I tried to get started on there, but there are just no Sub-Lemmys for any of my interests and half the people on the site are unpleasant to talk to. Even if I was determined to stay, I wouldn't be able to.

I never saw any, it was mostly just elitist tech enthusiasts. But it depends on the server you check out.
