Well it sounds like you weren’t into subreddits like sewing, knitting, or plant goths… Little less userbase there…
Comment on On the future of Lemmy vs reddit
MdRuckus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I follow damn near every community on lemmy that I followed on reddit. I follow 97 communities on lemmy with all communities active and none with 0 posts. I left reddit immediately and haven’t looked back. All the news, whether political or tech related, I get from lemmy. I think people just haven’t found the right communities. You have to put in some time to find them since you may have 5 or 6 with the same name. But, once you do, you should be good to go.

The key there is that it takes some effort to go find all the stuff. People are generally lazy so it’s hard to get them to do it.

Comparing the two communities for me, reddit nearly always has way more quality content and news for me though for the time being. Often even with big news it’s just not here on Lemmy at all. Many posts also have 0 comments and toy just wouldn’t see that on Reddit. Once Sync can create posts I will probably start x-posting more from reddit to lemmy for communities I am most interested in.
For now I think I will start browsing Lemmy and then visit Reddit for anything I missed. Keeping my posting and commenting over here mostly because I’d like to see this place grow.

Yeah, I wish there was more reposting from Reddit, because that’s what a lot of communities need tbh
