Many communities here are too empty, and if there are not enough people to make original threads maybe doing that for a while could help?

I honestly do not understand when people complain about Lemmy being too empty. That’s not my experience at all, not even close! My subscribed feed is pretty tame (intentionally), but if I switch to all, I can scroll and scroll until I’m like “maybe I should take a break” and I’m still only seeing posts from like 3h back. There is so much going on here, how are people going around saying it’s dead?
I find the communities i’m most interested about extremely empty, about to respond to a post then I notice it was made weeks ago…
Is it a time sensitive topic?
Not necessarily, but replying to days-weeks old topics feels a little pointless, maybe from my experience from reddit itself.
It’s pointless when there is so much content that it gets drowned out by the time it’s a few days old. It’s not pointless when that isn’t true.
Many people sort by active or new comments and even days old threads will show up there if someone replies.
If it’s in the Fediverse, you can talk to it and it might talk back. I love that ageless feature!
This isn’t reddit.

Are there bigger versions of the same communities elsewhere? One of the problems at the moment is duplicates, and finding the one where people have coalesced can be be hard, sometimes just dumb luck.
Ikr, I never run out of internet in the fediverse.
