Welcome Stu!
There are a few technology communities, !technology@lemmy.world being the largest. If you have other more specific technology communities, there is !linux@programming.dev , !android@lemdro.id , !selfhosted@lemmy.world, !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Feel free if you have any questions

Thanks so much for the info 😁

If you check !main@lemmy.ca there's a nice pinned new users thread there. Welcome!
Anyone else feeling like we're edging towards critical mass these days?
-
Critical mass is still a ways away I think. I have noticed a stream of new accounts recently, some of which seem to be the type of dedicated users who post a lot, which has created a marked uptick in activity.
But critical mass - which I define as active niche non-tech communities thriving without having to rely on a single user doing 99% of the posting - is not achieved yet. I think probably at least the 100k MAU barrier has to be breached for that, if not more.

Agreed. General sports community like !Football@lemm.ee are still very quiet. Once they get busier, that will be a good sign.

I am noticing a marked increase in profiles I've checked being made in 2025, when in late 2024 it was a lot more of "2 years ago" folks. I've no idea what critical mass is but Reddit is slowly but steadily declining which is great news for us.
