Digg:

It had potential, but after becoming an ai news aggregator now there's none.

Lemmy:

Low engagement / kinda dead. Also, I have heard that the growth is slowing down(somebody pls provide a citation for this).

Besides that, it's pretty much reddit, for better or for worse.

9gag:

I just made a post there, my first impressions are not good. Got insulted and my post got removed. Now, that might have something to do with me not understanding how the website works, but only time will tell. I will spend more time there to see if it's worth anything.

I wonder if it would help to make a few communities that were just like "Post whatever fun random shit you want." like a catch all for stuff outside the main things. A lot of it is just that while a lot of us have other interests we might post about they aren't the same interests. But if we could all get in a single community made for like 'casual posting' it might take off. Or just slightly more vague things. Like "Peanuts" is so fucking specific. Same with "windows11" like why not just "microsoft" for all microsoft products? Specificity can be the enemy of a communities success sometimes.

Exactly. There is a community set up, but posts are daily at best with only a few comments.

Honestly, that's enough for me. I don't want to spend hours here. A few minutes are enough.
