Yeah, I tended to stay away on Reddit, too. I find myself selecting it often here, though, because there isn't enough content yet for Local and Subscribed to show new posts often enough.
I usually hover between c/news and c/politics which has a lot of content. Once football season gets going I'll be on c/nfl and c/cfb a lot too. The pet themed communities are also thriving so that is there too. What communities are lacking quality content? My RSS engine pulls in a few thousand items an hour, I might be able to contribute.
I'm subscribed to 50+ communities, so I won't list them all here. A lot of my interests are relatively niche (stuff like Linux/FOSS, DIY, bicycling/urbanism, etc.) so it isn't that surprising that some of the related communities seem to be averaging between a post a week and a post a day so far, since Lemmy as a whole isn't all that big yet. (It could also be that I haven't found the most popular community for a given topic yet, especially if it's on a different Lemmy instance.)
My subscribed feed being overly dominated by c/politics, c/world and c/technology (the communities I'm subscribed to that do have lots of content) might be part of the problem too.
You wouldn't happen to have a Pastbin or Gist or something about it, would you? I'm curious about how to set up a similar thing for myself.
I use Feedly on my phone and NewsFlow on my desktop which I use to view reddit and lemmy.
