MODERATORS
I see it differently. It looks like the majority of communities struggle with not enough content/discussions, many de-facto are blogs of mods/creators where others are passive subscribers.
This is true, but also subjective. How do you define enough? Enough to doomscroll or enough to check for 10 minutes daily? All we really need to be self sufficient is enough content to keep people coming back regularly, we don't need to replicate reddit.
This seems like an exaggeration. Most communities that have quality content also have quality discussion, in my experience.
Right, this is subjective. For me the main criteria is: if I want to get an answer to a question, especially a non trivial one which is not releated to lemmy/fediverse - I should better go to reddit. And I think lemmy should better replicate reddit with this
Probably, can you give me example of such communities which are not about fedeverse, technology, foss or memes?
You're not wrong, but I don't see why Lemmy would want to replicate reddit in that respect. You don't need to spend any time on reddit or even make an account to take advantage of that functionality. You just Google your question and add reddit to the end and voila.
I also skipped the gaming and political communities because there is an absolute boatload of that content on Lemmy, as I'm sure you're aware. These are some communities that I am subscribed to that jumped out as being fairly active.

Nice list
Were any of them new to you? Just wondering
Not really, but still a nice list!
I was talking about asking my specific question, not googling for information.
Thanks for the list - agree - these communities are are rather alive, what is promising.
Fwiw, I've been consistently getting answers and solutions to my questions and issues on lemmy.
Good for you. I have a very mixed experience.
