Anyone else noticing engagement and post quality issues? (lemmy.world)

This is just my basic perspective as a daily user since June 9th.

I was able to use just my subscribed communities feed up until a couple of weeks ago. I subscribed to a lot in the first 2 weeks of this thing exploding. Those initial communities are very engaging, but several have slowed down or are dead. I expected that. I've been using the "All" feed to try to engage with people and find new stuff. I've used it a lot, but there is a lack of engagement. I use the "new" sort priority to try to find active participants, but it seems lacking as viewed from .world. I have other instance made accounts, but I have not seen any differences. Anyone have suggestions about finding better engagement with positive people?

New is going to show you the posts with the least engagement... Seriously, that's literally the worst way to go about what you're looking for

Because it's post that literally just got made. This isn't reddit where 10,000 people are online at once and things take off quickly. Browse by "active" and you'll see the posts people are engaging on.
