People want to see more happening here. The fediverse is not quite the ghost town it was a year ago, but it’s still pretty quiet, especially once you start digging into hobbies.
Of course, the good solution is not bot-driven, but human-driven. But people are lazy and think that they’d rather repost thousands of posts with a bot than figure out what links they think are good and post those.
There’s something I’ve noticed about Lemmy, mind you I don’t use any apps or whatever, just through the browser on PC, but, this one thing makes the platform feel so hollow and annoying.
Scrolling through whatever feed. All Active or whatever. You’re on page 2. You see an interesting title. You click on it to read the post and comments. You click back. You’re now on page 1 of the feed again. So it feels like Lemmy is really trying to be about 30 posts deep at any given time.

IF ITS TOO QUIET MAYBE WE SHOULD TYPE LOUDER?
