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?
This fits my profile. I actively browsed and contributed to Lemmy for about 4 months following the US inauguration, but all the useful stuff I want is still on Reddit and Twitter. I still look at Lemmy around once per week, but honestly it seems like there’s a lot more political rage bait and not as much in the way of niche community content.
I can relate to that. Most of the info I usually need from Reddit is about gaming, and the majority of games I play aren’t even mentioned here. I also agree on the political ragebait part. I narrow my feed down to the communities I follow only, because the moment I use “All”, I get a lot of these.
Games genre communities (!jrpg@lemmy.zip ) are doing okay, game-specific communities are probably too niche for now yet.
