    more diversity. currently lemmy predominantly has politics, tech, and memes. Anything else is a little rough around the edges or nonexistent

    Particularly, I was a huge fan of the Tales from X-style subreddits. It was entertaining to be able to go into them, read some stories about it and see others responses, even if some of them you could totally tell weren’t actually real. there have been communities made for some of the topics, but they’re dead, and unfortunately, those types of communities aren’t really communities that you can do too much with yourself unless you’re actively in that same field.

      And surprisingly Lemmy has very little programming content. The programming and learn_programming communities are almost dead.

        As a member of the programming.dev instance, this just isn’t true. Maybe those sublemmies on other instances are, but there’s always posts, questions, and content on programming.dev.
