The fediverse is my favorite social media. It does have fewer daily active users than many others, but I encounter more real people and fewer bots than many others. If there’s not as much stuff here as you were hoping, there’s a broader fediverse that we are connected with that may interest you, like pixelfed (like instagram) and loops (like TikTok) and mastodon (like twitter) that you can follow from piefed or mbin, while still having a similar ui to lemmy. Personably, I kind of like that I run out of posts to browse and have to go do something else.

I like it better here, sure its not as populated but once you find a few good communities and join in, it can be a lot of fun

If you can tolerate ideological debates
