Comment on How do I make Lemmy feel less dead?

Most of your engagement seems to be in your own community, mental health, this community, shower thoughts, and scientific memes. This community, shower thoughts, and scientific memes get plenty of traffic now from what I have seen. But most engagement is in the news and politics communities. If you want engagement of other kinds you’ll just have to continue posting like you have been until about 300,000 more people join. Its not reddit. There won’t be an infinite breadth of topics yet. Especially for specific games and more niche communities. I myself have a notification or twelve on 2/3rds of my logins.

Just be like me and run a necrommunity whose only posts are old ones from yourself.

So most content is just politics and memes atm?

Yeah mainly, lemmy doesn’t have enough users to maintain more niche communities on a large scale at least.
EnthusiasticNature94@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Darn. Well, I’ll just focus on my own community for now and wait for relevant communities to exist.

Sorry but that sample size is too small to draw any meaningful conclusions.

!fedigrow@lemm.ee has a weekly thread about people trying to grow their community
None of them are politics or news

It’s not just that. It’s also technology communities that aggressively push Linux.
