I post quite a bit here but it feels so damn quiet. Why?
You guys are defederated from the two most active instances i see on my ‘all’ feed, lemmy.world and hexbear.net, and also a bunch of minor instances that still pop up pretty often like sh.itjust.works, lemmygrad.ml and lemmit.online.
Y’all live in a tiny bubble inside the already relatively small bubble that is lemmy.
Is Lemmy.ml any good? I made an alt there a while ago but don’t use it much
It’s only an option if you’re OK with the admins being as transparent as a chunk of charcoal, and enforcing a hidden rule that boils down to “don’t disagree with us or our political views.”
They’re specially prone to distort what you say in order to fit the rules that they actually list in their instance.
Source: former lemmy ml user for 3 years, that used to moderate comms there. I got the fuck out after the notoriously poor way that they handled ani.social.
Because you’ve chosen to move to a rural neighborhood.
What do you mean by that? Is beehaw that small?
I have fedi presence elsewhere and see a lot more activity
Well, lemmy itself is not very large and to my understanding beehaw blocks quite a bit to keep their feeds clean as possible.
They defederated LW and SJW, so probably around 30 to 40% of Lemmy
