Let me prop up my complain. I look for an English community where I can ask questions about the language, and I found one. I put several questions there and have received zero answers in span of a month. Given that it is the largest such community here, I have no options as to turn to Reddit.
I’m sorry that happened, but that’s just one community. That’s not enough of a sample size to say anything about Lemmy.
The only subs that are active are memes, politics and technology subs, everything else is desert
You should browse the All tab more.
I do, but i don't really find a lot more content that interest me in all. The subs that promote other subs are my main discovery method
There are a lot of science communities, there are some local communities, sports communities, hobby communities. The ones I’m subscribed to seem pretty active to me.
I would say hidden more than desert, but I see what you mean, you have to look out for content more.
Oh please, we all realize this didn't take off as expected. Reddit has its grip
This is actually exactly what I expected and am pretty content with it.
Yeah too many people expected another Digg situation but that was completely unreasonable.
Okay, now I have more of an understanding. For broad, general, casual use (like the way I use Lemmy) things are better here. For narrow, specific subjects (like what you need) reddit can still have an edge.
Which community? Remember, 1. Ask, 2. Ask someone who can help, 3. Ask until you get the answer you need.
Yeah that's absolutely understandable. Probably most of the Lemmy users here could easily present atleast 1 community which is pratically dead in here compared to Reddit, which he/she/they misses.
