Lemmy is an improvement on Reddit, but imo not by much. There really is no innovation on the fundamental concept of subreddits/communities. The issue with Lemmy is that I’ve come across so many promising communities that quickly die off after the initial spurt of activity. I wonder if there is a better organic way to grow the “online discussion” from some form of general cespool, that can segementize only later when those needed segments (communities) emerge naturally.

Complaining about dead communities while having made only 4 posts in the last year is perhaps the most definitive Lemmy user trait of them all.
The solution isn’t complicated. Find and submit one article, meme, picture, video, whatever in at least one community every day. Now imagine if all of Lemmy’s MAU’s tried their best to do the same… The only problem with this plan is that everyone expects someone else to do the work for them.
