Agree. For about half of what I’m interested in, there’s some activity on Lemmy and the conversations aren’t just “no u.”
I wish I didn’t have to, but I still lurk on Reddit for some very specific hobby and occupation hubs. I think there’s a lot more “blue collar” activity over there than there is over here.
A lot more entertainment, too.
I'm still astonished there isn't an active movies or television presence over here. Feels like the topics over here are primarily news, technology, politics, but pop culture, movies, music, television, even gaming have somewhat low activity. Really bizarre those haven't gotten firm footing.
I'm wondering how much of that is the sorting algorithm. Waiting patiently for lemmy.world to implement 19.0 so we can get the scaled sort working properly, but that seems to have been...stalled or something.
!anime@ani.social and !chat@literature.cafe has good enough engagement that every week there is something to talk about
