I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?

I haven't seen activity declining, but I have seen good quality posts declining I have been seeing more low quality posts recently

Usually whenever I want to make a post, I think back to the comments I typically receive and think better of doing so, then don't.

I'm sure this is happening elsewhere too, e.g. on Reddit, though balanced by a much larger user base (and ofc bots doing a lot of the actual posting, and sometimes the commenting as well).

I probably should comment less often too:-). Really, touching grass and talking with people irl is much more fulfilling.
