It's when the Americans already went to bed but the Europeans didn't wake up yet. I'm in South Korea and around lunch even sorting by "New" doesn't give me any new posts, sometimes up to one hour.
I know it's a cliche but try posting yourself. That's the only way places like this grow. I don't particularly enjoy posting so I try my best to keep conversations flowing and add discussion to posts without much going on. Every little bit helps.
To that end, what's your favorite thing about South Korea? I don't really know all that much about it. Are you from there or working there or what?
Yeah it started with work, I was here for a 3 month business trip. But then I met someone here and asked to be sent on another and one more business trip :D But because it was during Covid I had to stay 2 weeks in quarantine every time I went back to Sweden to renew my visa ^^. (see my quarantine vlog: https://tube.jeena.net/w/p/qG3KZrSACw4QvTQ23prqXR )
After in sum 2 months in quarantine I asked them to move me to the Korean office ( see: https://tube.jeena.net/w/uuQegxjHagGpHhXXDMBGJg ) , that was 3 years ago and we have a one year old son by now already ^^.
I don't think there are any actual Chinese communities, at least I'm not active in any. And I'm not actively following anything from Australia either really. I've come to terms with the fact that there's fairly little stuff posted on Lemmy in general, so browsing all (instead of subscriptions) and sorting by new is how I find stuff.
perhaps I’m missing out on some Australian content? Any tiops on communities
There are Australians producing content on all the usual communities. Unless you're interested specifically in content about Australia or aimed towards other Australians in particular, you're probably not missing out on anything.
If that is what you want, check the communities hosted on aussie.zone.
Some instances are available, so federated content is visible if you're on one that works. But external links often don't, and you generally want to hide your online presence even if the sites you visit are not blocked, so I'm using a VPN near 24/7.
Be the change you want to see. On Lemmy, it actually matters to the entire community what you do. If you post a few things every day, other people in the same area will see some activity. :)
I have a sleep disorder so I'm always awake through the night. For me I kinda appreciate that it makes it easier to stop scrolling, cause there's not anything new showing up and I've already seen the posts for the day :)
I can see how it'd be lonely though. Perhaps I'm used to it cause my sleep disorder is isolating whether I'm using lemmy or not
I realize now my wording was unclear 😅. The former. I go to bed around 9am-12pm right now, and wake up around 7pm-9pm.
I have a very weird schedule, but I do sleep. It's isolating because my daytime seldom overlaps that of others, if I never slept at all I'd have TONS of time to spend with folks

Hmmh, your post shows 04:50 in the morning. That's definitely a time even the insomniacs would be asleep in Europe.
It's a bit better for us. When I go to bed, the Americans from the east start to come home from work. (And there is a good amount of Germans here on Lemmy.)
I wish that Lemmy, or my app, had a translate options. I'm interested in the rest of the world, but I'm a product of the US education system so I only speak one language.
And hello from Europe (sweden)! I visited Korea last year and whilst I wasn't using Lemmy then those time difference really made it hard to talk to anyone who happened to find them self in Europe.
And for a solution to the problem, maybe there are some Korean communities with a bit more activity during that time?
Why does your name show up in red on my app. You’re not the OP.
I don’t follow you.
Cake day? New accounts have a baby beside them
Have we talked before. That’s the only other thought
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
