Lemmy seems less active than during the Reddit protests?
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but when the reddit protests were happening, I used Lemmy for a bit then decided to detox from "social media" for a while till now. Am I misinterpreting the activity here?

Nah it's been pretty busy. I don't browse all and only sort by scaled and if I ever ran out of content I think I would be the problem haha
I'm subbed to a ton of stuff and my feed dries quickly. Even if I do browse all. I'm also new to the platform, so I'm probably doing something wrong?
Try using the "scaled" version while browsing all, it lets all the small stuff pop up too. Just be ready to religiously block communities without hesitation to get things curated how you want
Combining: bans, blocks, defederation, differing lemmy versions and federation bugs / glitches, you end up with a different view (sometimes for better or for worse) than someone on another instance
Going to new, or staying on hot?
Tried both. I get marginally more content via new. A lot of it is what's in hot but in a different order. I'm on boost for lemme if that matters.
I feel like you're just not subbed to enough stuff. That said I don't spend more than an hour on here/my phone per day.
You were right. I found the trending sub channel and found a swathe of content.
I've found that sorting by New Comments is the best way to have a steady stream of interesting stuff on my feed at any given time.
