One big issue with this is when you’re getting into something new and don’t have the knowledge yet and you just want to see other people’s opinions on things, you can’t really be the one to start that. I liked going to the subreddit for whatever game I was playing at that time and just absorbing other people’s knowledge I didn’t have yet. I can’t really do the same on Lemmy outside of a few games or subjects.
You’d be amazed at how many Lemmy communities on here aren’t visibly active but still have an active community. If you’re new to a thing, go and ask a question on a community with little interaction. Sometimes people are listening but not talking and your post will get good engagement. It’s weird that way.
