1) Be nice and; have fun

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Activity has actually been picking up lately imo.
Specifically which communities do you think died out?
All of them that are not AI, news, gaming, Linux or technology in general?
I know that Lemmy has a fairly small range of interests, but I don't know of any communities that were once highly active and have since gone dormant.
He said the bubble has burst and there were fun communities when he first came over that are no longer active. I'm asking for an example, because according to my recollection, there never really were active communities outside of the topics you mention.
And there actually are handful of active communities on other topics. [email protected] comes to mind.
That's not specific (or true) though, there are plenty of active niche communities, especially those for localities. Which communities would you like to be more active?
