I realize that but even those daily updates don’t seem to catch everything. When I tried to bring some life to a community I was interested in it took a few weeks of activity before it showed up on the list. It’s a great tool but it’s not perfect.

Nice, didn’t know about this one.

Yeah, it can take a while before new communities show up. Not much can be done about it I’m afraid.

Are you looking specifically for a community for communities? If not there’s also Lemmy Explorer.

Just appeal to another AI - two of them can’t be wrong at the same time, I’m sure of it!

They’re going to replace them with an AI powered tool, aren’t they? If they’re going to replace them at all that is.

People are willing to deal with a lot of thing before it gets to a breaking point - whether it’s a social media platform or anything else in life. Change is scary and many users keep their accounts to follow specific artists/series/topics who may or may not have easily findable alternatives to switch to.

Add the fact that majority of casual users doesn’t know about other similar platforms or (in case of fediverse) finds them confusing and suddenly they have more incentive to just put up with the problems as long as they can. More so since such change requires rebuilding of communities and relationships.

Finally, there’s laziness - most people just can’t be bothered to change things in their life unless they have no other choice/choice was made for them (ex. service they used died).

Why do you think so many refused to leave reddit after the whole boycott drama? It sucks but that’s how humans are. There’s only so much we can care about and social media aren’t exactly high on the totem pole.
