i just joined because of this. i was waiting for lemmys community to grow a bit larger first but r/all is literally the only reason i browse reddit at all. these idiots are playing themselves with this crap
That’s the problem. All reddit users are waiting for lemmy to be larger without actually wanting to be part of making it larger. It’s a vicious cycle. Fortunately for us reddit is hell bent on shooting it’s own foot
It is in some communities. But there are certain places I used to see pretty regular updates and engagement on Reddit that either don’t exist here or are absolute ghost towns. You can say that’s because of a different user base and different priorities and that’s fair — but then you can’t complain about low involvement/engagement by people who want to participate in those communities.
I miss the thriving, active subreddits for fountain pens, watches, and calculators. I tried being the change I wanted to see in a watch community, but after about a week of being the only poster, It just kinda felt like I was just showing off my watch collection. Fountain pens is a bit more active, at a few posts per month. Forget about calculators.
Yeah. I’m a fan of some less-popular musicians who have a few hundred Redditors and at least a dozen active participants. Here it’s literally me talking to a wall. Or no forum at all.
That’s a shame. I think I’ve been talking at my coworkers more without those spaces, probably more than they are interested. But yeah, the empty communities here are just like yelling into the void.
Nice! Browsing by All here works great, just block the communities you aren’t interested in. I started out subscribing to ones I wanted but the smaller scale makes All decently readable. If there’s a community you wish was here feel free to start it!
Is there a way to block communities without having to enter them? Sometimes I’m like “icch, that’s nasty”, but I have to get all up in the nasty to turn it off.
There should be, yeah theres some real… eccentric folks here. Maybe a future update will allow “block community” right from the post. Not to my knowledge, apart from going to your user profile settings and typing it into the actual block list.

Yup. Me too

I believe Lemmy is pretty lively at the moment.

I work from home; my coworker is a dog.
ok, but if we want to change we have to start at some point
It’s good enough now.that I don’t get bored but there is still a narrow range of topics that are lively at the moment.
I comment frequently and occasionally post, which puts me in the top % of users per the 90-9-1 rule
Welcome and thanks for joining. I hope you can realize the irony of not joining because not enough other people joined.

Browse by All, Top 6 Hours gang rise up
Heck yeah, even browse by New is manageable sometimes!
I like the “new comments” section myself
I do Top 12 because I try to touch grass on occasion.
Reporting for duty.

If you go to your settings, there should be another tab up left that has all the blocking options
Okay, I can just c&p the community name to that page. Thanks!
Welcome!
Welcome friend!
One of us
One of us!
Me too. TI don’t understand this move
