Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

    Really wish there was more content. I’ve been trying to post stuff but I never get any comments either. Anything other than the few mainstream communities is just dead

      I think there are too many communities. People tried to replicate reddit’s diversity and places got spread too thin. When Reddit first started it didn’t even have subreddits.

        This will be controversial too but having the same community on each instance doesn’t work either. There are 3 major Android communities and none have very much content, and lots of reposts etc

        Megathreads, or just a good popular post in related popular communities can work pretty well until there is enough traction to warrant its own community. A lot of subreddits arose because half the posts in a sub became what was previously a fringe topic of the parent.
