We've grown an absolute shit ton of people the past day, insanely nuts to see how active World is.

I just really hope the engagement continues and grows.
- The level of overall 'civic engagement ' on Lemmy has been pretty great.
- I'm pretty sure I've commented more within the last 2 days than my 8 years on Reddit lol. Engagement is definitely higher
  
  Lol same here. I've actively upvoted and commented more then I've ever had. I really want this place to work and trying to be the change I wanna see
  
  Another “same” from me. I’m really trying to not lurk as much as I did on Reddit. Every bit of engagement helps.
  
  Yeah same. When the network errors level out it will be better as well. For example anytime I comment I see an error but it actually posts.
  
  I'm guessing you're on lemmy.world? I'm on a smaller instance so I don't get any of those errors
  
  Yup. Hopefully it gets resolved soon, I don't want to resubscribe to everything from another instance.
  
  @MoreCoffee@sh.itjust.works made a script for it: https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate
  
  Nice, that is perfect
  
  What kinds of posts do you comment on? I’m finding it a bit difficult to find always active communities and discussions, which is the only thing preventing me from commenting as much as I used to with Apollo. Things like tipofmytongue, cringe, IsitBullshit, and outoftheloop along with movie and tv discussions were my frequent haunts, particularly when I can’t sleep at night, but sadly I’m not finding the same amount of engagement here. Hopefully as we grow we can find that same level of engagement.
  
  Reddit had so many users that hyper specialisation was possible.
  There was a subreddit for every tv show. And people are coming here expecting the same. I think we'll see similar content but a bit less niche.
  For instance instead of a community for every tv show it might be better to just post about any tv show in /c/television
  I used to follow /r/pizza but I've seen tons of home made pizza photos in /c/foodporn
  For most niche topics you can probably think of a more general community which will help drive content and critical mass.
  
  Only way to grow these communities with niche topics is to interact with them yourself. If you want c/pizza to grow, post content and interact in it!
- I'm seeing some very encouraging signs here. There's a lot of discussion about the platform itself on the platform (I'm looking at you Ham Radio nuts talking about talking on the radio...) but there's a fair chunk of people discussing links and topics of interest, the thing it needs most to survive. In other words, people are actually using it for its intended purpose and seeing some success in doing so.
  The technical issues are actively being solved as the platform explodes in size practically overnight.
  As for that ineffable quality of how the community feels? That has yet to be determined. The bots are on the way, and it's up to humans to choose how they will conduct themselves in the face of hostile bots and astroturfers who wish to sow discord.
