Congratulations. You are bringing your dozen communities that only survive due to your incessant work, which kind of exemplifies my point: Lemmy has maybe a handful of communities outside of the politics/meta-fediverse topics.

I don't post on [email protected] that much anymore, it's usually other posters now. Same for patientgamers, parenting and casualconversation

I never post on !foodporn

showsandmovies we are now 2.

I started posting on [email protected] recently, now it's mostly other people too

Lemmy has maybe a handful of communities outside of the politics/meta-fediverse topics.

That's already a much different statement than

consider yourself lucky if you manage to get 2 other people commenting on it.

I don't understand why you want to exaggerate the situation, while there are clearly other communities than American politics

You want to use the extreme end of the distribution curve and make the argument that it is close to the median case. It is not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There are 44k monthly active users on this platform.

According to you, they only talk about American politics.

According to me, they also talk about other topics.

Another thread I open yesterday, 55 comments: https://sopuli.xyz/post/21023787

I'm providing examples and numbers to back up my claims, you use incorrect hyperboles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The number of discussions about American politics are orders of magnitude higher than discussions about any of "other topics". This is more than enough to justify the use of hyperbole.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Nobody is denying that discussions over American politics are very active.

Thankfully, those communities can be blocked.

On top of that, [email protected] added a new rule against US politics questions, so new questions are about anything else.
