Basically, that's it.

I'm a French speaker, so I try to participate mainly on the French speaking communities such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], but the issue is that apart from the 2-3 top ones, the others are usually very quiet.

I know it's a chicken and egg problem (as you need content for people to come and participate), but for instance with movies, I'm always torn between posting the content in the French-speaking community, or the much larger [email protected], where I know that the audience is much bigger. Same for science, history, most topics actually.

I don't expect anyone to have a magical formula (the most obvious solution being just having more speakers of that language on Lemmy), but I was curious to see if other people in the same situation had insights to share.

Merci pour ton message, très intéressant!

You indeed have a point about multilingual being the norm on other continents. Hopefully that is slowly going to change with the newer generations more exposed to other languages.

Au Québec, we already parlent franglais donc ce n'est pas a problem for nous! 😉
