MODERATORS
You're not wrong, but as someone who has mostly adapted to the fediverse in the last 2 weeks after 15 years on Reddit, I remember a time when reddit was considered too complicated for the "casual" user. Lemmy is in its infancy right now and I think if one is the kind of person who is an early adopter, it will be very appealing to be in the first stages of the journey. I found my early years on Reddit to be much more rewarding and filled with joy than my later years because it felt more niche and close-knit in a way.
Also, subreddits are called communities here and you should join as many as are of interest! Just like a user could create multiple competing subreddits (looking at you /r/meirl, /r/me_irl, /r/2meirl4meirl), the good ones will take off and others may die off, or might just add additional content to the pool, which is a good thing.
This is the right answer. As long as your instance is federated, you can see all communities via All. Sub to all of them you want, and they all get shared between federated instances. Some will naturally grow and others will die, so don’t worry too much about duplication at first. It’s going to happen.
Instead try ADDING content. Don’t lurk. Engage and have actual conversations with people, even if you disagree. The hive mind here is much less ingrained, so the community is more open and accepting of all points of view. Enjoy it while it lasts!
