I've been on KBin Social, Lemmy World (least 2 dedicated accounts), KBin Run, Mastodon, Blue Sky .etc

Blue sky is not on the fediverse. They've decided to come up with their own federating system from the ground up, which I think kind of squandered what could have been a pivotal opportunity to help facilitate a mass exodus from Twitter, contributing to fragmentation and confusion.

But anyway. I think they intend to have their own version of federating soon but I don't think it's up and running yet.

I like it. There is good engagement. 10 to 20 comments on a post is enough for me to move on to the next post

I personally think maybe it's also in need of quality posts or engagement, but in larger quantities.

That said I know my post may not be quality input, but this is how I feel.

Absolutely. There's just fuck all to do here. I used reddit for fan communities a lot, and most of them stayed behind. (Unless you're a trekkie I guess. Then you're set.)

I got my first reddit ban today!! I told a gamer advocating for bikini armor or something that he should just get a second screen and watch porn while he plays if he's so fucking horny all the time and it was flagged as "harassment". It's only for 7 days so I guess I need to work harder to get a permaban lol.

No.

People are the worst.

The "threadiverse" (i.e. lemmy-compatible communities), yeah. There are still many topics that I would find interesting to discuss, but that nobody talks about here; to the extent that there are communities for them, they get very little activity.

The microblogging fediverse (mastodon-compatible), I think, is popular enough by now, I have no real desire to see even more activity there, can hardly keep up with what I'm currently following there and currently tend to unfollow more accounts than I start following.

Speaking personally, while I am here, my participation in Lemmy is lacklustre at best; same with Mastodon. I got burnt out from social media and the years from 2016 - 2024 have really ruined my enthusiasm. I think maybe a lot are in the same boat. Maybe we'll see more people come out of the "shields up, dark times overload" in a year or so... and maybe it will take longer.

I've been using this account for over a year since the Rexodus. Haven't had this disinterest problem. Do I wish there were more users, sure, but it takes time. Work on making this place great and they will continue to move here. Create, mod, or just post to a niche community.

Yes.
