Ok , here we go.

I like lemmy a lot.

Mastodon and all the others are too complicated with too many dam options for threads. Not to mention I hate the Twitter layout.

Like look,

I want lemmy to have more users. The lack of engagement here is just beyond sad.

I’ve seen a lot of lemmy instances with like 1 user a month. Seriously? What the fuck?

I’m entertaining a thought to create a lemmy instance, but is there even a point? Should i even bother?

I feel like the issue with these reddit alternatives, is the LACK of content and users.

What do you think?

    found interesting communities mostly when other people recommended it

    That’s one way of doing it. The way I found the most interesting and niché subreddits was by hanging out in /all/new.

    just got a list of all federated communities, most of them would probably be dead or irrelevant.

    That seems to be the current status quo on lemmy. When you browse your homeinstance’s federated communities or visit a different instance and list their local communities, it seems there’s not very much logic to the sorting. There’s no way of sorting them by i.e. activity.

    That’s why I go to /all/new on lemmy as well. I see every new post to every federated community. It’s a gauge of activity and I see communities I didn’t know existed because other users subscribed to them and pulled them in.

    The ideal /all/new for me would show new posts from all communities.
