Not explicitly answering ops q; what brought me here was a friend who introduced the Lemmy/fediverse. And this is (imo) a better alt to Reddit. It is filled with company accounts, spammers, banned or discontinued sub-reddits…
I’m sure you know this and have heard it, but for the newbies you have to change your order to get more content. Switch between hot, top 6 hours, top 12 hours, subscribed new and overall new. In that order for me. I rarely get to overall new because it’s not addictive.

wish it wasnt so empty though, but i guess that means making a community here is way easier since people are starving for content

I agree it can feel like rolling tumbleweeds, but that’s the more reason to invite real humans!
