EDIT: Thanks for the replies, everyone. From what I’ve gathered, I just have to be more patient, so I’ll wait for the communities relevant to me to pop up. In the meantime, I’ll temper my expectations and continue using my community as a resource repository and continue linking them to people I meet online who need them.

Maybe I’m just using it wrong, but I’m returning for more than a minute after a few weeks due to having exams to study for, and there’s no notifications.

My community literally stopped in time after my last post, and I’m guessing it won’t resume until I work down my queue of things to post after my finals are over.

I’m subscribed to several communities I was interested in on Reddit, but even knowing I have to switch to my subscribed communities every time I log in, the feed seems very different, almost lacking in ways I can’t describe. For example, a big popular one about games hasn’t been posting any posts about any games I care about, and when I search for a community for the games I do care about, they simply don’t exist.

It’s just really jarring to try to engage after a few weeks of logging in here and there to check on anything I missed, and nothing of note has really happened.
