Many communities here are too empty, and if there are not enough people to make original threads maybe doing that for a while could help?

I came here to get away from reddit.
The lack of content and low userbase isn’t concerning?
I was also under the impression most people left because of decisions made by a certain Spazo guy, not because of the content on Reddit itself.
No. This is Lemmy, not Reddit, and it’s not intended to be a Reddit clone. It’s its own community, and growth is intended to be organic. Copy-pasting from the snoo site isn’t what people come here for.
Exactly, I’m here for community, not content.
I can’t see how there will be growth without content and keeping existing users engaged?
Maybe i’m wrong and everyone in the comments that are so aggressively against the idea are right, hopefully.
Lemmy was around and active before the reddit incident. It wasn’t busy, but it was growing. It’s always had its own life.
Fair enough.
Lemmy’s got plenty of content and user engagement. It’s been around over 4 years and has, in the last 6 months, seen a massive explosion in growth. I don’t know where you get this idea that there’s any sort of problem here.
I quit because nazi rage baiting and other obscenely low quality posts kept hitting the front page, even with massive amounts of curation. It’s like, what’s the point of having block lists and user tagging if the toxicity it’s coming from the website itself? It’s better just to quit at that point.
I could go back at any time but why the fuck would I? The content quality is trash and there’s always a harassing nazi on a comment I made like 3 years ago. All the normal, levelheaded people jumped ship a long time ago with the holdovers doing so after he started pulling that API crap.
I prefer fewer but organic content than bot-submitted content that no one will participate in.
I originally came here just for the blackout. Then I realized it’s way cooler here, and stayed.
I’m not trying to recreate my reddit experience here, I’m trying to be part of something else.
The future is federated.
