It should not get like Reddit, but I still wish for more users so that some more specific "subreddits" (what's the term used here on Lemmy?) are getting more users and more posts.

    Have you considered more fediverse to make up for that shortfall?

    If I run out of things on Lemmy that interest me, I switch gears to mastadon... If I'm getting tired of that shit, there's pixelfed

    With a lot of these new, non-algo driven sites you only see what you sign up for, so whatever kind of mood I was feeling the day I signed up, will influence how the site works for the first few months until it normalizes, and you find all your communities. i.e. my mastadon feed is chock a block FULL of self hosting Linux nerds, AND ITS AWESOME!

    the biggest gap still seems to be sports though, especially niche sports (I live breath and sleep MotoGP, and there ain't shit about MotoGP on Lemmy lol)
