So much this! Can there really be only a dozen or so posts in a community as wide as cars? Like seriously? I must have some setting messed up.
Take it easy. Reddit has more than 400 millions users, Lemmy hasn't even broken into 70k MAU. The long tail is not yet that long here.
If we want to get rid of the walled gardens, we need to have patience and cultivate our own. Join the communities you care about and stick with a discipline of posting one or two posts every day, no matter the source. Even if you have to browse the equivalent subreddit, get the link, send a DM to the original author about it to let them know they can post on Lemmy as well.
People are not going to jump over night to here, but slowly we can win this one out.
