What kinds of posts do you comment on? I’m finding it a bit difficult to find always active communities and discussions, which is the only thing preventing me from commenting as much as I used to with Apollo. Things like tipofmytongue, cringe, IsitBullshit, and outoftheloop along with movie and tv discussions were my frequent haunts, particularly when I can’t sleep at night, but sadly I’m not finding the same amount of engagement here. Hopefully as we grow we can find that same level of engagement.
I’m pretty sure I’ve commented more within the last 2 days than my 8 years on Reddit lol. Engagement is definitely higher
Lol same here. I’ve actively upvoted and commented more then I’ve ever had. I really want this place to work and trying to be the change I wanna see
Another “same” from me. I’m really trying to not lurk as much as I did on Reddit. Every bit of engagement helps.
Yeah same. When the network errors level out it will be better as well. For example anytime I comment I see an error but it actually posts.
I’m guessing you’re on lemmy.world? I’m on a smaller instance so I don’t get any of those errors
Yup. Hopefully it gets resolved soon, I don’t want to resubscribe to everything from another instance.
@MoreCoffee@sh.itjust.works made a script for it: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
Nice, that is perfect

Reddit had so many users that hyper specialisation was possible.
There was a subreddit for every tv show. And people are coming here expecting the same. I think we’ll see similar content but a bit less niche.
For instance instead of a community for every tv show it might be better to just post about any tv show in /c/television
I used to follow /r/pizza but I’ve seen tons of home made pizza photos in /c/foodporn
For most niche topics you can probably think of a more general community which will help drive content and critical mass.
Only way to grow these communities with niche topics is to interact with them yourself. If you want c/pizza to grow, post content and interact in it!
