I mainly used the other site for niche microinterests, but because Fedi itself is so niche too, that means the venn diagram doesn't have enough overlap to sustain these communities. And sadly I'm not sure if it ever will.
The community from the old place is pretty active, I wish more of them would flow over here.
I think the top post here has a few hundred upvotes, and the average upvote count is ~20, but people gonna go where they feel they will get the most engagement.
!asian -> Discussion for Asian people and issues. Searching Asian is disappointing since it is just a bunch of NSFW stuff that reinforces colonial stereotypes about Asian women serving white people as sex slaves.
As long as one person is active in the community, it still lives for another day.
