You just got used to have millions of users on sub, and forgot that tens of thousands of users is a lot. Especially New users, who is going to read and comment a lot, compared to reddit with half of users being, like, not active at all.
Yup. That played a big role for me, too. The other factor was lemmy.ml was the first to approve my signup, finally giving me the ability to post. I’m still looking around to get a feel for other instances, and might even set up my own.

Makes sense. A friend of me unfortunately turns Lemmy down because the largest instance has “only” 1.6k users
I’m going to bee honest, the mascot was a big factor in picking this instance for me.
So far it’s not over run by assholes and brigades so I’m diggin it, even if content is sparse for now!

Only reason I didn’t go to lemmy.ml is because their top post was “please go somewhere else.” Lol

I’m in the process of setting up my own instance for fun, as today was a slow work day.
