And yes I understand the irony in this post
Give it time. People who are joining lemmy/kbin for the first time are incredibly interested in disussing this particular topic. I think by the end of July, we’ll truly start to see this community take shape.
This; keep in mind that Rexxit is still ongoing and there are a lot of new arrivals here. So it makes sense that the pain of departing Reddit as well as adjustment pains settling into the Fediverse will be a theme for a while. As people get used to the new way of things, I have no doubt these “meta” issues will naturally become stale.
All your posts are about Reddit. Be the change you want to see. I’ll be there to upvote it.
It’s a fresh subject so people are still hyped around it. Plus it’s drama, it’s fun! I often joke that we’re watching it burn and eating popcorn.
But even if you ignore it, there’s a fair bit of activity in other communities. For example I’ve been posting somewhat often about food, linguistics, anime, manga, and stuff like this. (And even explaining what an “axion” was supposed to be, while seeing illegally smol cats in another comm.)
Stop using “All” “Hot/Active/Top” feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to “Subscribed”.
For me that is not necessarily the case. Over the last week or so, I have been using sites like Lemmy Explorer and Lemmy Community-Browser to find communities that have my interest. I have also been browsing ‘all’ using the ‘new’ sort option and have been finding many new interesting communities that way.
