This is the problem, you came too early. You’ll have to engage a bit more in conversation and carrying over things from Reddit. Think of it as an investment.

The beauty of Fediverse is that all these Lemmy and Kbin sites can talk to each other and you can participate in any of these Lemmy or Kbin instances by only signing into one, while with a centralized monolith platform like Reddit you are at the mercy of a single corporation which means they can pull the bullshit they are pulling right now. They feel empowered to do that because all of the useful information is in a single website. Fediverse solves that but it does add a little bit of complexity.

This instance is already becoming very big so feel free to participate only here, but you’re welcome to try other interesting communities in other instances without having to abandon yours. Go to the Communities tab and then click the All filter.

Lemmy as a whole is already reaching or upwards of 10000 people, that is a sizable critical mass to begin posting stuff. The power is in the hands of users here.
