I'm loving it here but yeah hope there's a bit more engagement. I think the main thing people need to focus on is building up the more common communities. From there we can slowly branch out as more people join. If we spread out too thin we're just going to get graveyard communities.
As we grow we can focus on expanding and getting more of those niche communities going .
Maybe lemmy.world shouldn't have defederated from the more active instances. I dunno. Seems counterintuitive to establishing a growing community.
To many small /one person / abandoned communities. People need tolbe posting more to the popular ones until more people show up. But just like early reddit days people wont.
