Do you find that you're on the fed more than you were on r/ just because you're really really excited to watch your favorite communities become more active? - eviltoast

I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.

    Nope. This website has a very specific demographic and a ton of more “casual”, non-tech/internet topics see zero activity in here, for the simple reason that there’s virtually no interest or demand for them amongst the Fediverse users.

    Deleting my Reddit account made me look for already stablished forums on certain topics tho.

      For example, I tried to recreate the Powerlifting community here and it’s completely dead lol. It’s just me posting a couple times per week hoping someone else joins me. There are around 50 subscribers but they only upvote my posts.

        Kind of makes me want to subscribe to the powerlifting community just to cheer you on.
