Lemmy is too small for content discovery to be a big issue IMO. Around this time of day – when prime evening hours for engagement are falling mostly over the empty Pacific ocean, the feed is rather slim pickings while watching the All feed.

Yeah I feel most communities don’t stand a chance. Smaller communities are now split between multiple instances. A small subreddit that would get 2-3 posts a day is now 6 separate Lemmy communities on separate instances that post once a week.
Consolidation regularly happens, see !fedigrow@lemm.ee
