I’m still just figuring out how fediverse / lemmy work, but I do get bored sometimes because of the lack of content, so I guess I’m part of the problem. I’ll try to be more involved.
I’ve been trying to think of a good (for the lack of knowing the correct verbiage) ‘subreddit’ to start, but they all seem too specific for the amount of users on Lemmy. Also I wouldn’t know how to start one. Comment down below any tips. Thanks!
You don’t have to start your own community (lemmy’s subreddit) if you feel it is too niche. Find or start a broder one where your niche content will fit. That way, your content has a home and more lemming will be attracted to it.
If you want to start your own community, you can only do it on your home instance: reddthat.com
The sorting combination of ‘Local’ and ‘Active’ also can make for a quiet impression

Sorting by scaled is pretty nice because its like active but with community size so its not only shitposts, memes and news (still a lot but its still a larger veriety)
