I've realized that not everything is worth responding to, especially on Lemmy. Why bother? It's not like it matters. That's why the "deafening silence". What more is there to say that hasn't been a thousand times?

Yeah. Enjoy lemmy.

Last post before that was from a month before that. So I'd consider that abandoned, or at least in the process. But as I said, it doesn't matter.

I wasn't around when that happened. How would I know?

That's a good rule! And I appreciate the offer. Maybe one day, but for now, I'm going to stick to reddit.

TLDR: If you want more traction for your new community, don't spam fifty posts all at once. Post one or two posts a day, and keep it going for a while.

Thank you! It's definitely been a bit of an adventure, for better or for worse. But tbh, I missed all the niche subs on reddit, and there's no real equivalents here. Maybe one day, when lemmy is bigger and more normal people have shown up, I'll come back.

Is it better? It looks abandoned by the new mod, and it looks like a copy of all the other lefty political subs. In any case, it doesn't really matter.
