Honestly a lot of it is probably people getting comfortable lurking again, Lemmy only counts post and comments as active users
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
I'm one of the people who has stopped coming here. I'll keep visiting occasionally but the lack of content and pro-east/anti-west rhetoric is just as irritating as the maga/conspiracy crowds on reddit.
Do you visit here/Reddit for some news alongside other stuff, or more other stuff than news?
If the latter, you can somewhat avoid the rhetoric back & forth by blocking out a lot of the news communities, but then you do run into the general content problem more (especially if you're also blocking memes).
I've been looking for more specific subjects now but generally I just browse active/top/hot all. Reddit is getting really bad...
Yeah... I've also never watched star trek, or used Linux, or had Firefox and browsing is all that.
How can we grow lemmy? I would honestly interact here a lot more if we had an active ML community like reddit or twitter.
But since it is a small community, maybe we can do interactive things more often?
