I feel like most users have switched back to Reddit, but I'd like to have an alternative to Reddit.

I might post memes here but I don't want to keep this active by myself.

This is also a common issue within lemmy, and I did try to revive 2 other communities, but one barely succeded while the other just didn't see much new posts.

I agree, the larger slice of life lemmy community seems decemtly active tho

I wonder if there's a decent portion of lemmy users on the azumanga subreddit that didn't know that an equivalent lemmy existed, or that they didn't want to join because of the inactivity

For a community to be active, there should be at least 200-500 ppl as far as I know

The larger slice of life community was completely dead in my absence as well, and is recently active again since I started posting again. Because it aggregates content from smaller more specific communities, regular activity resumes much quicker.

As for the amount of people needed for an active community, I think 500 is quite an optimistic estimation. I estimate less than 1% of subscribers ever post anything. If I quickly take an example, the Lucky Star subreddit has 12k subs and seems to have on average a few posts a day. A few thousand subs seems to be needed for regular activity.

I run a small discord server which has about 200 ppl and it's fairly active (few messages per day), but that's a different format/platform

As for getting new members on here, try asking the mods of those communities for a collab or affiliation or something
