I was referencing to when I signed up for Lemmy. I really missed the front page of r/ and was looking for that. I didn't realize that the default would be so dead and also, I was on a really small instance, so the page was suuuuper dead since nothing was referenced yet. People can switch to smaller, but we don't want to overwhelm them or make it look way worse populated than it is. I get your concern, but that's why I recommend it to be mid level. You may not care if your front page is dead, but the newbies do.
