Not explicitly answering ops q; what brought me here was a friend who introduced the Lemmy/fediverse. And this is (imo) a better alt to Reddit. It is filled with company accounts, spammers, banned or discontinued sub-reddits..
wish it wasnt so empty though, but i guess that means making a community here is way easier since people are starving for content
I agree it can feel like rolling tumbleweeds, but thatβs the more reason to invite real humans!
I'm sure you know this and have heard it, but for the newbies you have to change your order to get more content. Switch between hot, top 6 hours, top 12 hours, subscribed new and overall new. In that order for me. I rarely get to overall new because it's not addictive.
