Many communities here are too empty, and if there are not enough people to make original threads maybe doing that for a while could help?

    I find the communities i’m most interested about extremely empty, about to respond to a post then I notice it was made weeks ago…

        Not necessarily, but replying to days-weeks old topics feels a little pointless, maybe from my experience from reddit itself.

          It’s pointless when there is so much content that it gets drowned out by the time it’s a few days old. It’s not pointless when that isn’t true.

          Many people sort by active or new comments and even days old threads will show up there if someone replies.

            If it’s in the Fediverse, you can talk to it and it might talk back. I love that ageless feature!

      Are there bigger versions of the same communities elsewhere? One of the problems at the moment is duplicates, and finding the one where people have coalesced can be be hard, sometimes just dumb luck.
