You should have seen Lemmy before June 2023. All posts were from the same five people. For now the community seems to be alive and healthy.

I wonder if those same five people are sad, presumably because their posts aren't as popular.

No, we are sad because the decrease in posts lately have left behind the worst parts of reddit.

How so?

It's all junk food generic memes and none of the whole grain hobbyist.

If everyone is browsing by top-6-hour I think we need to rethink the organization of things.

Hi, they aren’t. I browse by Hot on All or Local specifically to discover niche and active communities. The memes I see on Lemmy are actually higher quality compared to Reddit, mostly due to the older user base here. Bonus points that we don’t have extremely toxic communities like dankmemes yet. So overall, that’s much much better for me. Even if the content was dog water, I’d still be happy about the absence of toxicity and everyone enjoying a semi-lame repetitive joke.
