For me it seems to have wained a bit, I feel like a lot of casual users have gone silent recently, the content I'm seeing is more specific to niche topics and communities
Have you tried browsing another instance's All feed to see if yours is missing any communities? I started using Lemmy on a really small instance but switched to lemmy.world as my main because it could see a lot more content. My new alt runs a federation helper to fix this too.
My only real complaint with Lemmy is that instances, by default, only know about their own communities and the remote communities that their users have specifically subscribed to. Some smaller instances run federation helpers that scan other instances for communities. Manually initiating a federation request is not intuitive either.
I've just made myself a hexbear account because of the mentions on here, looks interesting
Hexbear looks like exploding-heads but for liberals
Also, you can ask your instance admin to run this tool to have more communities in All: https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs
Cheers, will mention it to them!
I feel the opposite, posts have more comments than ever, even when the migration started
