Yes there is much less activity than reddit. Yes there are much less bots than reddit.
And yes, you must take time and care to interact more than in reddit, if you want Lemmy / fediverse su succeed.
And yes, on the long run the fediverse will superseed all other corporate owned social media just because.
So, don't complain and be part of it! :)

i'm not a fan of tankies either but this is disturbing
You got some sauce for that pasta?

Unless I don’t care about educating morons.
