I know a lot of lurkers like me out there are browsing, but there’s quite a bit of engagement capitol on the federated instances. If you find an interesting topic and the right community, you get a lot of feedback. There’s not much hate being thrown out there either.
The down the rabbit hole youtube channel is really great for mildly obscure interesting topics.

alot of engagement.
A certified classic
Not necessarily. I post all the time here and Kbin. Zero engagement.
Your comment just got me engaged!
I’ve posted 240 times to barely any discussion.
This post is a lie.
Looking at your posts, it seems like you’re really into ecology/farming/wildlife. I think Lemmy is currently seeing the biggest growth with its tech and tech-adjacent communities. Whether it’s because it’s a little more complex to use or because that’s just the demographic that knows about it more, I can’t say for sure.
It reminds me of the earlier days of Reddit (which I didn’t even participate in), when it was almost solely a programming/tech community. As it grew in users, so did the variety of communities. I think Lemmy is going to be similar.
I applaud you for building up the communities you’re a part of. I hope that you can look back in a few years and realize that you sowed the seeds for something that grew much bigger.
Try yelling fire, using the word “alot”, or threatening a puppy? I’ve looked at your posts and while they are intellectually stimulating, there’s a degree of knowing your audience involved. I would wager many people on here are people in drool mode after a rough patch at work.
There’s also the fact that I’m a liar.
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Do rabbitholes belong here? I’m a full on spelunker of them, but I fail to see how they align with this community as it’s geared towards tips and tricks.
Rabbitholes, to me at least, are those bits of mental lint that don’t really serve a purpose other than to expand your knowledge base. Their depths can vary, but are typically very complex (deep) in nature. Like the fall of the Ottoman Empire or some shit like that. Does it influence your day to day functioning? no. Is it interesting? yes.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed about lemmy; posts/comments feel far more engaging and don’t get drowned in thousands of comments that often don’t contribute much if anything.
You don’t like when the first half of a thread is shitty puns and the same stupid jokes nonstop? Weirdo
hard disagree and this assumption is further proof of that.
