Yeah, a lemmy moderator only community seems like the closest analog until/unless mastodon gets a topics concept.
Hiker, software engineer (primarily C++, Java, and Python), Minecraft modder, hunter (of the Hunt Showdown variety), biker, adoptive Akronite, and general doer of assorted things.

They’re not, they’re more like Twitter circles. A channel is one or more authors (that can be masked as simply a post by the channel) blogging to infinite many followers.
s/you/one/ I don’t think it’s really about YOU in particular, just “you” the author or “one that is saying things like this.”
Another example, “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime” isn’t about “you” it’s about the concept of “an individual (that might be the reader).” This phrasing seems to be more agreeable with some people and possibly there’s different tolerances geographically.
I’ve tried to use “one” in place of “you” to remove this ambiguity but it’s at times uncomfortable to type lol
The only thing you can really do is create new communities and wait for them to grow.
This is a bad take in this case. This graph is of total population, not if signups. It effectively is zeroed.
Sure it’s a very small increase relative to the total but relative to recent history this is very significant.
Edit: the bigger issue from a data interpretation perspective is the date range sampled is small.
Yeah, lemmy seems like a great alternative to discourse.
Votes already are public to all server admins (I can see exactly what you voted for in communities my instance knows about).
