I got the idea of this thread because of this comment
I know it’s kinda depressing seeing all this empty communities, but I think the problem is that it’s still all concentrated around privacy and tech. To create awareness of lemmy We should create more “casual” communities and share those threads outside.
As I already pointed out in the linked comment, I’ll not dislike some cat tax.
I think that it unfortunately has to be all tech and political for now. Some person not interested in both is very unlikely to find their home here, even if there was more cat content or idk stuff about guitars.
I am trying to say that it imo is nearly impossible to find enough people to sustain those communities.
