I was saying the other day there's been a noticeable uptick in activity in some of my favourite arts & crafts type communities over the last couple of weeks. Probably just a temporary blip, and our numbers are still quite precarious, but it's encouraging nevertheless.

I'm trying to do my part by posting more content.
It's decent after blocking all the fluff/low-quality communities. But it needs a way to follow threads & highlight new comments.
As good as I feel Lemmy is, I find a lot of the meme & humor communities alarmingly depressing.
I'm not looking for 24/7 wholesome! But, man.. I just want to see funny memes.
If I could post a comment on here without someone ranting at me about capitalism I would be so happy.
Same here. I wish that we could have more powerful filtering even when browsing all. personally, I don't want anything to do with memes so finding interesting new lemmy nooks is like wading through a haystack.
Slowly and steadily, yes.
i find it's mostly content my older colleges in tech would find funny
Yes, it is so much better, sometimes I forget Sync for Lemmy ain't Sync for Reddit.
Honestly, kind of but maybe not really. I mean, yes there are improvements of course, but a bunch of them aren't very visible, and of course I understand that. It just feels very stable.
It kind of just works, for the most part, which is a good thing - minus this bug which has been fixed over a month ago but I guess is not live yet on every instance: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1968 because I still run into this bug, and it's still annoying unfortunately.
Outside of that, there's not really too much going wrong for me to notice any huge improvements.
edit: Oh, it's because 0.19.0 UI has not had a stable release yet (nor has 0.19.0 server), once that releases as long as there aren't many regressions I won't really have any more complaints about Lemmy (other than maybe the non-SEO-friendly URLs).
I don't think so. The amount of doom on lemmy is insane, this isn't a very fun place. Comments using ableist slurs are upvoted. The meme communities are just a facade for more dooming. I swear this site is full of people that get off knowing they're making someone else feel bad.
