You’re not wrong. I think we need to start de-specializing some in compensation on the Fediverse. Like maybe there’s not enough content to specifically support a !television community at the scale you’d like, but maybe there’s enough content if we rolled them together into !entertainment or !media.
But also, no community happens out of a vacuum. If we want a viable community here, sometimes that means putting in the work of regularly contributing posts knowing fully well they’ll be ignored and receive no engagement until doing so has proven enough continual activity that people feel worthwhile investing into.
But yes, in general I agree, it would be nice if we had a little more activity around here. But I’d still rather us be on the smaller size than the too large to manage size of Reddit, given the option.

When I originally set up television on lemm.ee I made it the largest community on the instance within 2 months lol.

This is a valid concern for other communities, but interestingly enough in the case of two two, there are enough posts and comments to still keep them separate, the issue is that most of the posts come from a single poster on each topic.

It’s okay, if Reddit is what “has users” looks like, then I’m perfectly happy to have “no users” over here on the Fediverse.
There’s a sweet spot with internet forums, and the exact number varies by community, but every forum I’ve ever been on got shit after getting too big.
Yep! As soon as a comm gets big the quality plummets and bots swarm to it, I’d rather have small but quality
It would still be nice to have more than one active poster on topics as general as
That’s true, but I am not interested in any of those. I’m mostly fine with the topics here, and I’m happy that the idiots of Reddit stay on Reddit.

It works on its own

Indeed, look at the weekly posts on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip
Even some of reddit biggest comms like games, still have one primary user posting
Interesting, I never noticed
Ye, it’s underestimated how many communities are reliant to one passionate enthusiast.
yeah also the r/MarsSociety community for example. mostly one user posting all the news article, though maybe 5-10 people actively commenting.
Exactly. Assholes like that can stay on Reddit and suck more spez corporate bot cock.
I think it’s more just that most of the users are bots or marketing interns.
