Hah, thanks I appreciate it! Re-reading my post, it sounds pretty glum, but that wasn't really my intention. I fully appreciate that Lemmy is still in alpha development, and I didn't have great expectations that it could compete with reddit in its current form.
And I don't mind the smaller communities, nor my own diminished usage. Since breaking away from Reddit, I find myself spending more time exploring the small web, rediscovering niche blogs, working on websites within my own circle, and generally just enjoying the break from doomscrolling and getting overwhelmed with the lack of humanity displayed in that worldview.
