Even though there are 100k active users, it still seems slow. I know it'll take time to change, but I have already seen improvement in the three weeks I've been here.
It's slow, but I'd argue that the quality is better. So that kind of makes up for it a bit, imo. And being slow means more people can just browse everything Federated on the front page (of K-bin at least) and get into new stuff they wouldn't have considered before.
Quantity is a quality of its own. While there is some great stuff here, there is also a lot that is missing. Many great discussions either don't even start because nobody who see the intersting article to link it. Or in the few cases it is linked few are in that niche and get involved in the discussion.
This depends a lot on exactly which niches you are interested . Reddit has a lot of niches that each have a good number of intersting people adding to the discussion. Kbin/Lemmy has a few, and if you like the large topics everyone talks about has plenty, but the millions of small niches are lacking still . Heres to that changing .
Even Reddit didn't fully solve that problem. When you go outside of the general topics it an be surprising how slow activity can be. That's simply the nature of the niche.
There's no real way to solve that without simply being that change yourself. Because those niches tend to have the 2-3 same users posting half or more of the discussions or links.
