TRUE
Feels like it’s just memes and specifically war and American politics
The only actually different communities I found were about ancient times and history posts (thank you for that by the way)
Comment on How active is Lemmy now?

If you care about American politics and being outraged at every and any thing thrown at you during the day, it is active enough. However you are SOL if are curious about any other topic that does not involve narcissistically talking about yourself.
Assuming you are invested enough to find or create a community for a topic you care about, be prepared to be talking to yourself for a long time and consider yourself lucky if you manage to get 2 other people commenting on it.

The big three are:
- memes
- politics/news
- tech
There are a couple dozen people who keep a smaller community alive (like PugJesus on history, anon6789 on owls, JohnnyEnzyme on euro graphic novels, LaurenceWolse on b movies, Nexius Lobster on traditional art, etc); occasionally someone takes over a community and starts posting regularly, and occasionally someone burns out and the community dies.

go for it, fam! Yeah, I think it’s a lot more fun to be posting when someone else is already posting there. (instead of just posting by yourself.)

Please do so, it’s terribly lonely being the only poster some weeks DX

The new communities part was a good recommendation actually, but the rest I’m not interested in
I found two new communities I am going to contribute to, so thanks

Congratulations. You are bringing your dozen communities that only survive due to your incessant work, which kind of exemplifies my point: Lemmy has maybe a handful of communities outside of the politics/meta-diverse range of topics.

I don’t post on !movies@lemm.ee that much anymore, it’s usually other posters now. Same for patientgamers, parenting and casualconversation
I never post on !foodporn
showsandmovies we are now 2.
I started posting on !AskUSA@discuss.online recently, now it’s mostly other people too
That’s already a much different statement than
I don’t understand why you want to exaggerate the situation, while there are clearly other communities than American politics

You want to use the extreme end of the distribution curve and make the argument that it is close to the median case. It is not.
