For most communities, especially some of the smaller ones, have posts that are only as recent as 2 months ago at best. I noticed that there is frequent activity on The big communities such as "chapotraphouse", "chat" and "news"... but that same frequency of activity isn't replicated on most of the other communities.

For communities like "movies and tv shows", it feels like visiting a ghost town.

Is activity for people here mostly off this site and elsewhere? Did I not get an invitation or something? It feels like, with regards to activities such as playing games or watching a movie, I see no signs of people on this site doing anything.

So why are most communities lacking in activity?

    we watch movies (and sometimes tv shows) pretty much every night at live.hexbear.net at 8PM EST. we use a peertube instance which can expose your IP to anyone else in the channel though so i strongly recommend only joining with a vpn of some kind.

    this is a communist shitposting site, so for the most part the comms that people like to shitpost or chat in like chapotraphouse and the others are much more busy. news gets used because it's political so even though it's not shitposting it's still something we like to discuss a lot. ultimately we are still a pretty small site, so the small comms just dont get much activity
