    Where am I gonna post? One of the 12 meme communities that make up 99% of posts, or one of the 12,000 communities where the last post was four months ago and it had two comments, one of which was a bot summary?

      The fact is that if you arent into Linux, piracy, shitting on Elon or communism a lot of Lemmy is pretty shit.

      I was super active on Reddit in a lot of communities that are just straight up wastelands here.

        Are you complaining about the niche communities not having any activity, but not posting anything there yourself? I could’ve sworn i saw a meme about just such a thing, if only i could find it.

        But in all seriousness, most “dead” communities have many lurkers that are joined but not posting, so posting there isn’t necessarily a waste of time

      I personally am 99% of the posts in one of said niche communities. Plants won’t grow if you don’t put effort into growing them, why would communities?
