Same here. I mostly hung out in smaller, hobby subreddits. And the few I've found here are mostly dead. I really want to nerd-out with other people about shit nobody else cares about

Are you making any sort of posts in those "mostly dead" communities? There might be more people looking to join but had the same thought as you. Even a quick hello post could help a lot.

Fair point. I am not.

Lemmy is more picture oriented, like Instagram sort of. Reddit at least I'd you used old and shut off custom css, was more textual. -1 for Lemmy there I'm afraid.
