Where am I gonna post? One of the 12 meme communities that make up 99% of posts, or one of the 12,000 communities where the last post was four months ago and it had two comments, one of which was a bot summary?

Are you complaining about the niche communities not having any activity, but not posting anything there yourself? I could've sworn i saw a meme about just such a thing, if only i could find it.

But in all seriousness, most "dead" communities have many lurkers that are joined but not posting, so posting there isn't necessarily a waste of time

Exactly. Look at my post history for example. I've posted to some larger communities like Cats, but also to smaller ones like toads, mushrooms, and mycology to try to breathe life into them or to keep them alive.

If you want to see more content in certain areas, be the change you want to see in the Lemmy.

The fact is that if you arent into Linux, piracy, shitting on Elon or communism a lot of Lemmy is pretty shit.

I was super active on Reddit in a lot of communities that are just straight up wastelands here.

I personally am 99% of the posts in one of said niche communities. Plants won't grow if you don't put effort into growing them, why would communities?

You can go to one of the 120 linux communities to brag about your arch desktop rice!
