57k active users on Lemmy, Casual Conversation seems a pretty common topic, and still there aren’t that many people around here.
I posted on !newcommunities@lemmy.world , we are probably the most populous community with this name.
Maybe it’s because LemmyWorld communities do not appear on Lemmyverse.net any more?
What do you think could be the issue?
Without wanting to get into spicy flame-war territory … having a successful casual chat community sounds like the sort of thing beehaw would do better at than the rest of lemmy, in part, because community creation is closed, so arbitrary content naturally goes into the chat/lounge community, rather than into the very specific niche community it’s most aligned with despite no one being in there and no one ever seeing the post (exaggerated but you get my point).
It completely makes sense, I agree with you.
Hence my questioning about just redirecting there as there community is quite active already
