I think the content level has gotten better even in the past few days.

I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.

I feel like I've seen a lot more posts in just the past few days since I've started coming here.

It was slow when I came in last month, but it has gotten to pretty high levels of interaction since.

We just need the niche stuff for us to customize and we will be good to go.

It takes time to develop custom content. Reposts are easy. Culture takes effort. Beans take effort.

Beans take a lot.

That's a fair assessment. Communities like !selfhosted@lemmy.world are slowly but certainly getting better.
