Basically, that's it.

I'm a French speaker, so I try to participate mainly on the French speaking communities such as [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], but the issue is that apart from the 2-3 top ones, the others are usually very quiet.

I know it's a chicken and egg problem (as you need content for people to come and participate), but for instance with movies, I'm always torn between posting the content in the French-speaking community, or the much larger [email protected], where I know that the audience is much bigger. Same for science, history, most topics actually.

I don't expect anyone to have a magical formula (the most obvious solution being just having more speakers of that language on Lemmy), but I was curious to see if other people in the same situation had insights to share.

Also Dutch speaking internet communities tend to lean right, the crazy kind, so I rather avoid that.

Vervelend om te horen. Ik probeer ook af en toe mijn Nederlands te oefenen, hopelijk komen er meer gecentreerde gemeenschappen

feddit.nl heeft wat Nederlandse gemeenschappen (bijvoorbeeld [email protected]) die normaal zijn, maar ze zijn niet echt actief
