On reddit I was a lurker that posted like once or twice a year, but ever since joining lemmy I’ve started posting multiple times a day.

    I’m having trouble because a lot of my usual interests haven’t really made it here yet, and I don’t have the time to be responsible for starting any communities

      yeah I’ve experienced quite the opposite from OP, I notice quite some traffic at the classic reddit-like communities but if i want to talk about some specific topic the subscriber count still seems <100 (example, /c/bready has 334 subscribers

      I don’t really feel like creating a community for a topic I enjoy which I already see gaining little to no traffic

      I guess most people flock to what they already know à la, showerthoughts AITA YSK etc

      to me the current state of the feddiverse feels like a circlejerk of people who complain about reddit and praise lemmy over reddit instead of actually submitting engaging content whereas we coul… wait I’m doing it too now!
