The people who are here are more willing to post. So less of us overall but also less lurkers.

Yeah, it seems like the most logical assumption, anyway I'm happy here, hopefully it would not take too long for more niche stuff to kick in!

Depends on how niche. Some stuff unfortunately only comes from truly large user bases. At a guess, the further you go from a tech/liberal core and overlapping hobbies, the longer it will take for the content to emerge.

Well, for me it would be sufficient for some communities about specific videogames or tv shows/anime :)

But at least the tech community is rather calm. I can have a different point of view with them and have a calm discussion with them.

Other groups aren't like that.

This definitely applies to me. I had a Reddit account for 5-6 years, but never made a single post and only wrote a handful of comments. I just feel more comfortable interacting here.

I lurked for months because of lemmy.world's policy of only allowing real email accounts for registration. Reddit allowed anonymous accounts for years which encouraged easy participation at the cost of bots.
