Lemmy’s sorting is really weird. When sorting content by Hot, I’ve found a bunch of dead posts with no comments. But when switching to Active I get a bunch of posts filled with comments, but they tend to be a bit older so it can get stale seeing the same posts even if there are new comments.
There’s no algorithm here pushing stuff to the top so you’re kind of on your own curating communities to get your home page not completely dead.
I’m not referring to the main page, I’m talking about entire subs. If you want to talk politics, sure, there’s some activity there. Want to talk about your local sports teams or something more specialized? You’re out of luck.
