I meant to reply to your comment with this, but instead accidentally made a separate comment:
There definitely needs to be more content, or more specifically more niche content.
There are some communities I would like to see that I don’t believe exist (like Hobbydrama) which is disappointing.
People always reply “dude, just create one” but it’s really not that simple for a few different reasons.
First, I don’t even think we can create communities on sh.itjust.works instance right now. Second, I don’t know how to moderate an instance and don’t really have the time to learn. Third, the community would be barren unless someone just rips off like the top 30 posts from that subreddit, and I don’t have an account to reach out to the redditors to ask for their permission (and I really dont want to piss off the people actually creating the content so they are so jaded they never want to come over to Lemmy/the community).

I hear you. That’s why I think the process will be more gradual. We need to see communities evolve over time.
