And I mean actively post on it, not just browsing it for info and guides and such.

For me personally there's a handfull (namely two) small subs that are just too niche to gain any reasonable traction on Lemmy (yet).

The fediverse just isn't there yet. I do fundraisers yearly and I'd never make goals on Lemmy / piefed. I am trying hard to be part of the solution, though, recommending it all over.

That's why I like the +1 approach. If you post something on a big tech platform, post it on the fediverse as well.

Posting to reddit? Post it on the threadiverse as well.
Uploading to YouTube? Mirror the video to PeerTube.
Posting on Instagram? Post it on Pixelfed too.
...and so on

I don't expect mainstream adoption of the fediverse soon, but people shouldn't be forced into a walled garden to stay informed/entertained.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
