I miss niche communities with dozens of posts each day. I go to communities here and see a 0 comment post from two months ago...
Don't want to return to reddit but it's harsh man.
Yeah unfortunately I've found myself still visiting reddit from time to time just for the niche communities. I don't visit the front page nor any default subs anymore, and I only drop in once every week or two instead of every single day. Can't wait for the day to come that I no longer have to do this.
That said, the comments tend to be way dumber and more immature lately, especially compared to this place. Modern day Lemmy reminds me of reddit pre-2010 (i.e. the golden years of reddit), except with a lot fewer people.
I "visit" it frequently in so far as I've allowed myself to click on reddit posts that I've found organically while googling something. Much as I don't want to contribute to it anymore, they do have something valuable in the vast discourse on their servers and I know the chances of something useful and relevant being amongst that discourse is very high compared to other web results and I'm not going to just ignore that while I'm lookin for answers or information. At the very least I do not post or comment there anymore and do not visit for the sake of a visit as I used to. Hopefully Lemmy will grow enough to be as useful and to actually show up in web searches. I would ask for.information or answers here to help with that effort but there's rarely an appropriate place to do that in the lemmy portion of the fediverse as yet.
