Yeah, that’s the one thing that’s missing for me. On Reddit I was on the Arsenal subreddit where after a game there would be thousands of comments. Here, there are maybe 5.
Lemmy is doing great when it comes to general news, politics, memes, programming stuff, etc. But, it will be a while before the more niche communities are healthy.
OTOH, Reddit is changing too – not just that it’s becoming more corporate. But also, more and more posts on /r/all are about India and India-related things. People in general seem to be dumber – angry about dumb stuff, more spelling mistakes, just little things I’ve noticed.
Anyhow, I really appreciate sh.itjust.works and The Dude, and especially the openness of how things are going.

if you build it they will come. one thing i’ve found very useful are when folks link to interesting discussions from comments - it makes me appreciate instances, communities, and individuals and look horizontally (the solar punk instance was lovely to discover.) the fediverse feels so appropriate at both a local and global level, having known about lemme for so long i feel a little remiss for not participating more, earlier. long story short just create what you want to see, and give it some occasional attention to nurture its growth
