Now it's a matter of sustaining and slow growth. Hopefully. Best thing you can do to see Lemmy succeed is participate: comment, post, doomscroll All+Top Hou ;)
It'll take a while for some of the smaller communities to get critical mass. And that's okay, probably. Critical mass is here for the larger topics already. I'll do my best to help :)
I have blocked most of the meme communities and all seems just fine to me now.
This helps, but ideally lemmy should make some changes that give smaller subs more equality with bigger ones in the sorting.
Right now even if a small community is active, it just gets drowned out by the bigger ones, even in your subscription feed.
I think they are working on tweaking the hot sort a bit more to make it more representative so the huge communities don't drown out the smaller ones especially in subscribed
Or some equivalent of a multireddit where you can look at some quiet communities as a block.
