MODERATORS
I agree, but I just wish it was easier to find interesting communities. Sorting by "hot" definitely dredges up more content, but they're all like 0-5 comment posts. Sorting by active shows the same few posts for a few days. I've been trying to sub to communities that seem interesting in "hot" content, but there just doesn't seem to be a lot of content yet? I may just be spoiled by the scale of reddit, but this seems fairly low and feels a little empty.
Am I just missing good communities? Is there somewhere to find them? Or are we still just really "too early" where most content is only getting 5-10 comments?
Currently, the best way to find new interesting communities is through !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl
We're still way, way too early for the kind of activity Reddit offered in the smaller niche communities. The best thing anyone can do right now is finding one or two small communities they care about and starting posting to help populate them with content, which will help slowly attract more users over time.
As an example, I've been trying to be active at !superautopets@lemmy.world, and we're still waiting for a third active user beyond me and the founder.
It's just going to take time.
I'm in the same boat. In newcommunities@lemmy.world I found some info on finding other communities but it's still not a bit iffy, also i combinatino with LiftOff for mobile. Took me a while to find and sub to one of the "drums" communities.
howeverrrrrr, it struck me that I made a quick post on a relatively niche subject, even within the "drums" community, but I got a sincerely helpful and geniune comment within hours. If there's not a lot of people but enough nice people here to have a decent flow of information 'round, that's an amazing deal in my book!
