The landed gentry are only in charge until the king comes to town and chops off a few heads. At least that seems to be the case at Reddit, where CEO Steve Huffman pretended his complaints about current moderators — who were protesting his decision to effectively cut off API access to tons of useful…
Actually, I like the small community vibe of Lemmy. It’s the dead sub vibe I have a problem with. There are lots of really interesting communities, but you don’t see people posting anything yet.

Took a long time for that to become a thing.
It’ll come here though for sure. I think most people are trying to filter into whatever communities exist right now to get a feel of how federation works but once everyone has a decent idea I think you’ll see an explosion of communities.
That’s the one area that’s missing for me as well, there is a general lesbian community that was just started yesterday, sapphics on lemmy.world, yesterday I found it and was like “neat! I need to post to help this grow, errrr… what do I post?”
I miss GirlGamers, honestly. It was such a refreshing perspective compared to the constantly angry/circlejerky dudebro vibe of 90% of gaming communities
Are you looking for more girly communities? Maybe consider starting one if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Keep on posting. As long as there’s something, other people won’t think it’s completely dead. Eventually others will start posting too.
lemmy.ml is defederated from all kbin instances, right? that might make it a harder place for a community to congregate. Just going off what I was reading in this reddit thread
It’s a bug, not intended, and being investigated on GitHub. It happens with all 0.18 instances, not just lemmy.ml.
