If you haven't bought a fan or A/C unit and were planning to, this is probably your last chance before they sell out and become hard to come by.

Yeah, I'm on them. Just sad that they're almost completely devoid of content. Maybe somebody from [https://lemmy.ml/c/datahoarder] has the reddit maps and could help

It's going to take time to rebuild communities to the activity level we're used to. Lemmy's had lots of growth but it's still a tiny fraction of the size of what reddit was. Most people here are still getting their bearings on how to do basics like subscribe, let alone contribute.

I think making comments and having person-to-person engagement is the most critical at this stage. Comments and votes will rise posts up and onto the main page for visibility. That's how a lot of people will find things. A lot of the "active" conversations are dominated by technical Q&A and complaining/schadenfreude about reddit. If we can get on-topic threads going in communities, that will help diversify conversations and seed more discussions.

I'm working to get over my natural lurker inclination because Lemmy needs the human conversations that make threaded platforms useful and engaging.

True, but I know there are people that have it copied. It would be great if some of these communities could migrate post from the r/sites in one big dump. Not in my lane, unfortunately
