    Lemmy’s sorting is really weird. When sorting content by Hot, I’ve found a bunch of dead posts with no comments. But when switching to Active I get a bunch of posts filled with comments, but they tend to be a bit older so it can get stale seeing the same posts even if there are new comments.

    There’s no algorithm here pushing stuff to the top so you’re kind of on your own curating communities to get your home page not completely dead.

      I’m not referring to the main page, I’m talking about entire subs. If you want to talk politics, sure, there’s some activity there. Want to talk about your local sports teams or something more specialized? You’re out of luck.

        Its because the subjects that migrated better to lemmy are tech or tech adjacent communities, as these people are more willing to jump ship to another platform than less technicly inclined communities are.

        I see it as less of a specilization and more about the userbase.

        Its why you get communities like linux, gaming, tech, android, apple, hell even piracy doing well in lemmy because they all kinda have one thing in common, a statistically higher chance they are into tech. The more casual a community, the less likely they are willing to make the plunge onto lemmy.
