Indeed, for this kind of service users attract users. I've been checking in on Lemmy periodically for years and the content just wasn't there (for me). But now, with plenty more users, I'm seeing a lot more value in spending more time here.

Yep same here, I'm hoping this is the watershed moment for Lemmy and I can start spending more on here and eventually stop using reddit (or be forced to when they take away my third party app). I don't generally create much content, but like participating in the community via comments, so it's hard to be a force for change when nothing is getting posted and no one is commenting.
