Weird, because I feel like it is more populated that it was after the huge influx of users because of the APIcalypse.

Lemmy is one of the healthiest fediverse communities. It's starting to get to the point where it can emulate the hours of infinite scrolling people do on reddit. Whether that is a good thing is debatable.

That is the case for me since Sync for Lemmy popped out.

Whether that is a good thing is debatable.

This reminds me of my mom watching TV novels back in the days when they aired daily, and now she watches the same novels but through streaming... Ahh some things never change

I'm really glad that it's small. I'd rather see genuine posts about 3D printing or aquariums or mountainbiking rather than ragetext memes or influencer shit on the frontpage of reddit. I do hope we kinda dial down the copy/paste bot content from reddit though, especially the memes.

The people who are here are more willing to post. So less of us overall but also less lurkers.

Yeah, it seems like the most logical assumption, anyway I'm happy here, hopefully it would not take too long for more niche stuff to kick in!

Depends on how niche. Some stuff unfortunately only comes from truly large user bases. At a guess, the further you go from a tech/liberal core and overlapping hobbies, the longer it will take for the content to emerge.

But at least the tech community is rather calm. I can have a different point of view with them and have a calm discussion with them.

Other groups aren't like that.

Well, for me it would be sufficient for some communities about specific videogames or tv shows/anime :)

I lurked for months because of lemmy.world's policy of only allowing real email accounts for registration. Reddit allowed anonymous accounts for years which encouraged easy participation at the cost of bots.

This definitely applies to me. I had a Reddit account for 5-6 years, but never made a single post and only wrote a handful of comments. I just feel more comfortable interacting here.
