Wrong instance I guess. Yeah, Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad and hexbear are toxic as hell, but there are really nice instances out there. I chose dbzer0 and it's great here. We also have many interesting threads about locally hosted FOSS AI. db0 himself is quite involved in this topic, he's the initial author of things like AI Horde. Basically everyone on db0 I've seen acknowledges the active genocide that's being conducted by the Israeli fascist government. Other topics on the instance are anarchism and of course piracy.

Which is great, but for "news" there seems to be one major community and even then there's like 3 comments on the typical post. Any "news" communities on other instances have zero.

I have very popular hobbies (football, formula1, to name a few) and there is no community for them. Just not enough users.

That's exactly why more people need to leave Reddit and other corporate social media platforms

Yes, they need, but for "normies" there's little reason to, and you have the first mover penalty.
