    That's the problem. All reddit users are waiting for lemmy to be larger without actually wanting to be part of making it larger. It's a vicious cycle. Fortunately for us reddit is hell bent on shooting it's own foot

    It is in some communities. But there are certain places I used to see pretty regular updates and engagement on Reddit that either don’t exist here or are absolute ghost towns. You can say that’s because of a different user base and different priorities and that’s fair — but then you can’t complain about low involvement/engagement by people who want to participate in those communities.

    I miss the thriving, active subreddits for fountain pens, watches, and calculators. I tried being the change I wanted to see in a watch community, but after about a week of being the only poster, It just kinda felt like I was just showing off my watch collection. Fountain pens is a bit more active, at a few posts per month. Forget about calculators.

    Yeah. I’m a fan of some less-popular musicians who have a few hundred Redditors and at least a dozen active participants. Here it’s literally me talking to a wall. Or no forum at all.

    Nice! Browsing by All here works great, just block the communities you aren't interested in. I started out subscribing to ones I wanted but the smaller scale makes All decently readable. If there's a community you wish was here feel free to start it!

    Is there a way to block communities without having to enter them? Sometimes I'm like "icch, that's nasty", but I have to get all up in the nasty to turn it off.

    There should be, yeah theres some real... eccentric folks here. Maybe a future update will allow "block community" right from the post. Not to my knowledge, apart from going to your user profile settings and typing it into the actual block list.
