for context, I am coming from https://piefed.social/post/1500502 (fedimemes post saying people go to political stuff instead of casual stuff).
I for one had subscribed this comm pretty much when it was made (moving away from lemm.ee i think), but at the time this comm was not active, there were mostly regular posts by lady butterfly and blaze (for example - how has your week been), but they did not get much activity, and there were not ‘regular’ posts posts (not the periodic ones, for example, and i saw it just 5 mins ago, the post about drying your hair, these kind of posts were just not there). Hence I unsubbed. (for example, there were less than 5 posts a week back then)
Today I got directed here, and seeing it more active (i scrolled to end of first page, and week still not ended), it makes me happy.
edit: well maybe i spoke too soon. maybe my page had not loaded up correctly or what, but now when i scroll, i saw posts 2 months old. my point is still partially correct, number of posts made between 1 month ago and 2 months ago is still less than number of posts made in last 1 - 1.5 weeks, but it is not that high. number must go high
edit2: sorry, i forgot about BoozeOrWater. I did not realise they were making the how has your week been style posts. I am sorry. (i saw the ‘It’s Sunday, how are your pets doing?’ post by blaze and guessed they are still making the periodic posts)


I looked for it in the past. I think it gets drowned out by the political and news communities in my feed.
Piefed has personal feeds that you can customize, I keep for instance all my tech-related communities in a “tech” feed so that this kind of communities are not drown by it.
You can also subscribe to public feeds like: https://piefed.zip/f/casual@piefed.social
https://piefed.zip/ is a good instance (latest monthly report: https://lemmy.zip/post/52485712), you can import your subscriptions and blocks from Lemmy in a few clicks.
I should make an alt. One of those things I keep telling myself to do.
