Precisely! I try to comment and post partly for the purpose of generating activity
The great thing (though it’s sometimes a curse) is that posts in any community will show up in the local and all feeds on the host instance, and the all feed on remote instances so long as at least one user is subscribed. So even communities with low subscribers can reach a wide audience.
Which also gives the all page it’s purpose in some form because it does exactly what promised, show everything. This gives everyone a chance at being seen
Yeah, but you have to scroll a lot to get past Politics or Memes
Depends on what you search for, active usually gives more populat stuff but you can get lucky by searchin with new
Me too. I’m doing my part!
Content!
Somewhat but I could be happier.
Commenting for the purpose of generating activity is my favorite activity
In my experience, a lot of these subs aren’t abandoned and have plenty of subscribers, so if you post, people will jump on it.
Can confirm I’m sitting in many communities waiting for content, and always delighted to see it.
If I was interesting, maybe I’d make some of my own.
Or if an otherwise popular community seems dead- maybe your instance just isn’t federating them right, or was never federated before you browsed to it.
give it time, people will come to their favorite instances with time. The best thing you can do is make your own posts to your favorite subs and cross post posts you see to other subs they fit into as well.
I am more of a lurker. I browse and not post. I don’t have anything to add really.
I actively try to post when I see this happen.
What communities are you experiencing this with? Maybe we share some interests.
For me it’s disc golf.
Funny animals.
Trackers.
A lot of the OC nsfw subs aren’t nearly as active yet, especially if they’re more niche.
MMA.
I’m holding out for ButtSharpies, not really the change I want to be in the world though.
That’s what I’ve been doing at czech-lemmy.eu and it isn’t growing :( Czechs seem to be comfortable with Reddit.
How bout your friends or Czech spaces elsewhere on the Fediverse?
Just trying to be helpful and optimistic
your friends
I don’t have friends. I’m a Lemming (former Redditor), after all.
elsewhere on the Fediverse
Good point.
There’s [email protected] but federation with Lemmy does not really work at this point.
There are several Mastodon instances like witter.cz which are reasonably alive but I prefer Reddit-style social media. I might need to compromise on this, though.
Hive and Dread have been suggested but I can’t imagine the crypro-heavy or dark web platforms attracting a meaningful crowd.
We gotta get niche communities that aren’t just programmers and socialists… I’m a socialist, but I wanna talk to some people about how Porygon is one of the greatest Pokemon of all tiem.
There’s no better feeling than making a post to a dead community, and then suddenly tons of posts start flooding in lol.
Sad !anime noises… I miss episode discussions.
FYI the episode discussions on [email protected] are automated by a bot (the same used on Reddit in fact) and us Kbin users can’t see bot posts, so it looks like there are none. I have high hopes that the next big Kbin update remedies this issue.
damn it’s me every time to find a circle :^)
Subreddit? More like Sublemmy
Didn’t you understand? Or you trying to be funny?
Me: single handedly keeping 9 communities alive

I need help
Hero
Hey, I see u doin numbers, too!
Oh, you’re the lifeblood of @gameart, aren’t you? I tried to contribute once, but then my favorite screenshot I ever took never even federated at all and I got too discouraged.
Still sad about it, tbh. No idea if it would happen again or not. I should dig through my folders again. I don’t think I have much, but I must have something
I am! If you have screenshots to share [email protected] is a great place, too!
Did you post tho
I take great solace in going to the Neoliberal attempts at communities here and finding them to be ghost towns.
Stands to reason, as most people are here literally fleeing capitalist greed rot. Im glad most neolibs trusted the free hand of the market and are probably still on Reddit for Spez to fuck with as he wishes.
Republicans are bastards, but Neoliberals are the constant reminder that we once had a pro-labor party in the US pre-Reagan, and they betrayed us to take the oligarch money along with Republicans.
Where’s 2latino4u gang? 😭
Or all it is a bot that reposts reddit posts with no comments
