On that note, I miss communities. Here on Lemmy there’s more or less one community (maybe a few due to instance grouping). On Reddit you’ll find things like streamer communities, hobby communities, and gaming guilds. None of them seem to be taking up Lemmy yet.
They’re out there, but not as big yet and more dispersed.
For example, I run !micromobility@lemmy.world - we’re still pretty small but growing and fairly active despite the small size.
The other part of it is that we all need to put effort into creating, sustaining, and growing the communities we want to exist. It didn’t happen overnight on reddit, and it will take time here too.
Love micromobility, btw, but would you call it a community (ignoring the term Lemmy uses)? Do people interact knowing each other by name? Do they interact outside of Lemmy?
That’s more of what I meant by “community”. A group that just happens to leverage Lemmy for some communications.

Barely, but technically I guess so. Early days though, hopefully the community will really grow in the coming years and become a good resource.
