I’ve subscribed to a plethora of communities that really interest me and actually have posts and discussions in them, but I have to go to the specific community to see this. My “Subscribed” feed only contains a few of the same posts that I’ve seen for weeks in Hot, the same posts from even longer ago in “Active”, posts from the same communities as the ones in “Hot” in New and no other communities, and pretty much only posts from the Meme’s community I unsubscribed from when sorted by “All”. I also see a majority of posts barely have upvotes or comments on them at all from the “bigger” communities. Is this just the growing pains of this site? Am I still doing lemmy wrong? Is it the instance I’ve chosen to join?
There’s just not as many people here as there is on Reddit. Things will be slow for as long as we don’t have large numbers. Best thing you can do to make things better is engage frequently and spread the good word of Lemmy
Thanks, I’ll keep trying to do my part to grow my favorite communities on Lemmy.
