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!

hi its me, Jimmy Wales I’m kindly requesting you to give $1.00 to lemmy
