lemmy activity volume

I'm a long time reddit user.. I should say I'm quite hooked. But lemmy feels a lot quiet. My primary interests are electronics, embedded programming, piracy 😏 and selfhosting. Apart from the last community the others are quite deserted.

I'v been on and off since past 1 1/2 years. No change..

On the other hand Mastodon is going well. And I nurture the interactions there. Lemmy could be the same. I too feel Reddit is kinda on-to-your face and aggressive.
