I don't know how I never stumbled upon Lemmy before, I've been looking for a worthwhile alternative to Reddit for over a year now. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough!

Give it some time the content will come. Also make sure to post that content yourself too. Posting and commenting are very needed right now to attract more people and the more people get attracted the less posting and commenting you’ll need to do to maintain everyone engaged

I definitely have been! I'm mostly active in !wow@lemmy.ml and !pokemon@lemmy.ml right now, trying to branch out and do more across the ~~website~~ Fediverse. :)

How do you find these other instances on other servers? I’m an Apollo refugee I’m so confused how to find my way around the fediverse.

There's a search function for a lot of it. The easiest way to discover communities currently is https://browse.feddit.de, and you'll want to copy the full URL of the community into your instance's search bar, i.e. if you wanted to follow the Pokemon TCG community you'd search for https://lemmy.ml/c/pokemontcg and it should bring up the community from there.

There's a technical reason why that is, due to the way federated servers work, but i'll defer to someone smarter than I for that explanation.
