  Thanks so much! They’re kinda quiet… maybe there just aren’t enough alt people here yet

    Anything that isn’t in the current mainstream tends to be in short supply on Lemmy. People haven’t gotten used to the idea that other people aren’t already running those communities for them. I think they’re still working up the bravery to be more active/figuring out the platform a d if it’s worth the effort.

    As others suggested you could start some communities up yourself. Maybe another option is digging up some of the dead communities and making a post asking others if they’re interested in taking them over? That’s worked for a couple communities in the past.

        That’s why I suggested asking others to adopt some of the slower communities that are already out there. 😉

        There’s bound to be others who are interested, you’ve already gotten a few bites with this post.

    Try talking in them anyway, maybe something general that you can crosspost to all of them at first. I had luck with talking into eternally silent Elite: Dangerous communities.

    The beauty of a place without algorithmic feed is that things can surface way more easily.

    Also, I wanted to use the Public API calculate a recent activity/users ratio to identify the silent communities that would be more worth interacting with.
