Ditto on spending more time on HN, which is great for [semi-]serious discussions but not so great for bass guitar tabs and zelda totk autobuild recipes and japan travel advice.

When I search Lemmy, I see depressingly meager results like communities with only 23 members. That's smaller than my BBS days in the 1980s! I must be doing something wrong?

Nah, that's just the state of a new website and an age of internet that has been consumed by the top 100 sites, leaving scraps for the outskirts unless you look real deep. You go too niche on reddit and you'll find those triple digit communities as well with maybe one post a week at best.

Growth will be slow, and perhaps at some point previous browsers may become creators themselves to facilitate this.
