When scrolling Lemmy (compared to reddit in the past), all I see is doom and gloom / news. I don’t see interesting conversations or comments to read.

Occasionally I’ll find something, and I’ve been contributing more, but there’s just so much doom that it fills my feed.

I’ve had to unsubscribe from many communities bc it’s just doom news reposts…

Is it just me?

      I know that Lemmy has a fairly small range of interests, but I don’t know of any communities that were once highly active and have since gone dormant.

      He said the bubble has burst and there were fun communities when he first came over that are no longer active. I’m asking for an example, because according to my recollection, there never really were active communities outside of the topics you mention.

      And there actually are handful of active communities on other topics. [email protected] comes to mind.

      That’s not specific (or true) though, there are plenty of active niche communities, especially those for localities. Which communities would you like to be more active?
