Then you lucked out on good subs over there, and the reverse for here. It’s definitely new, and definitely a different experience. Lemmy/Kbin is not for everyone - for instance in the very recent past at least it has leaned more towards technically-minded people so many of those needs are covered, and also early adopter mindsets who are comfortable to watch things grow & evolve rather than looking for an already-established setup, but depending on where YOUR particular communities of choice are, that’s where you’ll need to be.

I would say to BE part of the change that you want to see in the world, but yeah, if it’s just you and a moderator here then that’s not much of a “community”. Feel free to do whatever is best for you!

Also remember that you can curate your experience here - like if you did not like the shitpost community, then you have to first visit it by clicking its name, and then click the “no” circle with line through it, and from then on you won’t see posts from it on the main/all page. I’ve been doing that for all the foreign-language magazines, but people can do it for whatever - nsfw, memes, tech, shitposts, showethoughts, anything.
