There is not much getting posted, it is becoming emptier and emptier.
It feels like that party where I was one of the first people in, then people came and it was cool, and then suddenly it’s nearly empty.

I’ve noticed content slowing down as well. I like to think of it as we’re reaching a steady state.
Honestly it takes a lot of time to build a community, especially a niche community. Lemmy is a marathon, not a Sprint, we need to get the people here to stay here. Not just visit one time.
Right now it’s good for the hardcore people. But we need to round the corners, create quality of life features, for most people to be able to hang around. We’re getting better
Too much extremist propaganda for that to happen.
Yeah there’s some very vocal communities here. That coming to any conversation they disagree with very strongly.
But this is going back to the tools we need. People with a small community should be able to moderate it more elegantly, maybe posting karma inside the community, or no posts until you’ve commented enough. Something that shows people are actually engaged in that community and not just drive by controversies
I agree mod tools would help, but as long as those communities are around they’ll brigade and advocate violence. I’ve seen “you’ll get the wall during our revolution” twice, and I avoid them like the plague they are.
If main instances stay federated with them, Lemmy will die.
