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.
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.
