I'm a French speaker, so I try to participate mainly on the French speaking communities such as !forumlibre@jlai.lu, !rance@jlai.lu, !cineseries@jlai.lu, but the issue is that apart from the 2-3 top ones, the others are usually very quiet.

I know it's a chicken and egg problem (as you need content for people to come and participate), but for instance with movies, I'm always torn between posting the content in the French-speaking community, or the much larger !movies@lemm.ee, where I know that the audience is much bigger. Same for science, history, most topics actually.

I don't expect anyone to have a magical formula (the most obvious solution being just having more speakers of that language on Lemmy), but I was curious to see if other people in the same situation had insights to share.

Il est un peu dommage que la communauté francophone soit si petite dans le fedivers et la fédéralisation de jlai.lu ne me semble pas bien marcher.

Oui, c'est souvent ce qu'on regrette, les modérateurs des subs français et allemands ont gérer les choses de manière très différente.

Quels soucis rencontres-tu avec la fédération? Ca a été un peu chaotique récemment, mais normalement là ça devrait marcher.
