1 year agoyeah I’ve experienced quite the opposite from OP, I notice quite some traffic at the classic reddit-like communities but if i want to talk about some specific topic the subscriber count still seems <100 (example, /c/bready has 334 subscribers
I don’t really feel like creating a community for a topic I enjoy which I already see gaining little to no traffic
I guess most people flock to what they already know à la, showerthoughts AITA YSK etc
to me the current state of the feddiverse feels like a circlejerk of people who complain about reddit and praise lemmy over reddit instead of actually submitting engaging content whereas we coul… wait I’m doing it too now!
I just see too much of the same posts and I’m not sure if it’s a user issue or not sometimes i reopen the front page after 3 days and 25% of the posts I’ve already seen plus a lot of posts are about reddit anyway :(
