There’s not enough users yet for every community to have daily activity.
And not everyone who might like a given community, has found it yet.
The solution to both is to recommend lemmy to friends and to post stuff yourself.
I’m excited for 2030 when Starfield will finally be on sale for $15.
I’ll post tomorrow, pinky promise.
It doesn’t help that users might be split across instances. I posted recently over on this instance: !patientgamers@lemmy.ml
I didn’t want to repeat my post and annoy people who might see it two or three times.
You should use the cross posting feature in these cases. It still creates multiple posts, but they all get linked up.
Yeah, it’s been way too quiet here. Where is everyone? I don’t want to go back to “that site”
Sometimes you need to be the content you wish to see.
That’s why I’m commenting, but we need more people.
Bring your friends. And if you don’t have those, post about this sub on other subs.
I think it was a mistake trying to recreate all niche communities to begin with. We should have just created larger communities, which over time naturally create niche offshoots.
I wouldn’t say it was a mistake, but it was certainly overly ambitious. It’s the fediverse, people are free to build communities how they see fit. But we also have to live with people using that freedom in suboptimal ways. The cream will eventually rise to the top.
I think some folks were more interested in rushing in to be king of the hill rather than actually building communities
Kinda the opposite of patient, no?
