    My problem with Lemmy is that it seems/ feels empty.

    This might be a me-issue, not doing something right but all I see is technology & politics articles.

    I’m subscribed to many communities (like multiple anime communities) and I barely to not see them). I quite miss the conversations on Lemmy.

    However going back to Reddit seems to be no point either, everyone just repeat what another one said - or just people fighting each other.

    For example; saw a Reddit thread about relationships. Everyone just echo-chamber “leave the relationship”. But what happened to adults just communicating to each other? Lol

      I didnt participate in the anime polls but remember that moat of it was episode discussions or fan art.
      Also remember that the subs there were in the millions with probably high 50-100k posters and remaining lurkers.

      And God forbid you’re anywhere right of Marx himself or you’ll get people telling you you’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

      Like come on, we want 95% of the same stuff, let’s just work together and have some productive discussions and enrich our political mindsets instead of flinging shit at people who are basically on the same side as you.
