A week ago I was all excited… It looked like we had momentum. I even created a few local communities and the people came. Fast forward to today: my local communities are dead (no posts in many days) and 90% of the posts I see on the All: Hot have zero comments, 9% have 1 comment, and 1% have 2 or more comments. Despite the news of “2M active users and growing”.
The only posts that have lots of comments are talking about Lemmy itself or the “Reddit implosion”.
It’s frustrating
It seems pretty active to me. I use Jerboa and have it default to all/new so I don’t expect tons of comments but there are almost always fresh posts. From my experience its pretty lively.
