[email protected] started strong, but has definitely slowed down a little. [email protected] (everyday carry pocket dumps) and [email protected] have slowed down even more. Maybe they're too consumerish for Lemmy's culture.

Feel the same. Leftist culture probably also frowns at knives and such stuff, and sopuli is a Finnish instance which means its a lot of Europeans that love their EDC gear and knives, and feels like either too much aggressive or a luxury in leftists' minds. If it were communicated that guns are not the kind of gear that EDC lovers congregate over, it could become more appealing to Lemmy.
