Yeah all of my hobbies are ghost towns here. I don’t care about Linux, US politics or Communism so I filtered them out. Now all that’s that’s left is general interest posts and AI generated porn.
Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?

No. Reddit has a userbase that allows it to be all things to everyone.
Lemmy has a userbase that allows it to be a pretty good linux disscussion forum.
Once you venture away from technology, its crickets. There’s a community here specifically for the Cleveland Guardians. It’s dead quiet. The Guardians are even in the ALDS right now…granted they’re down 0-2 in the best of 7 series…but the ONLY post since they started the playoffs, is me asking why the community was so dead. That topic has 0 replies despite being posted days ago. On reddit, I wouldn’t have even needed to make that post, because there would be topics on almost every minute thing the Guardians have done right, and wrong, since the playoffs began.
And then I’d get heckled for saying that Ketchup is the hot dog derby champion. Now and forever! But on here? Nothin…

That’s not true! Besides Linux, there’s also ⭐Star Trek:-) ✨

Ah. Yes. I do stand corrected. Lemmy is home to MULTIPLE subject matters that I equally don’t care about.

Become an Arch user btw. 🤪

It seems to be sport dependent, I just opened !cfb@fanaticus.social and stumbled upon a 120 comments thread from 5 days ago: fanaticus.social/post/4293058
You can probably post about this on !mlb@lemmy.ml, it seems the most active baseball community.

Start posting updates for your team. Even if it’s lonely talking to an empty room. Try to post a couple times a week with news or trivia or… old players new restaurants or whatever they do when they retire. We’re so little here that we can’t afford to lurk. Be the content you want to see.

Or post to the sports community rather than a specific team

I’m almost completely indifferent to sports, but fuck the Yankees.
