Where is everybody?

Only 45 subscribers to a Raspberry Pi community? Is there another one with more people in it?

Originally I joined the feddit.de community because it had more subscribers than this one. Turns out, most of their posts aren’t in English so now I’m here

@ramblechat I joined as well. Didn’t know it existed until your post.

Just joined! This is one of the older communities I've seen on here at 3 years old. Looks like it could use a sidebar update but happy to be here nonetheless 😀

I also haven't found anything remotely active concerning raspberry pis. Maybe this is a chance to create a community for not only raspberry pis but all single board computers. Since raspberry pis are still difficult to get and there are now so many alternatives I think we would benefit from showing all the possibilites we have.

The kbin.social /m/raspberrypi has more subscribers (246 right now) but even less content! https://kbin.social/m/raspberry_pi

It's been 18 days since you posted this and that place still only has one post.

There might be others on Mastodon or Lemmy instances. You can talk to them all from Mastodon. Not sure about here though :)

I believe people just are not used to lemmy and therefore have trouble navigating. For example /c/technology@beehaw.org is being displayed everywhere as "Communities you might want to subscribe to", so there are a ton of users. But thinking of something you want to subscribe to, and then searching for it, and the deciding which community to choose if there are multiple are a lot of steps. So it just takes time for people to come o think. If I think back in the beginning I also joined just a couple of subreddits now I am subscribed to over 300.

It takes time (that is if people don't loose interest in lemmy..)
