About half of the stuff on Lemmy is just ‘what i hate about Reddit’
If you sort by the default Active, which is self-reinforcing, yeah. Sorting by New or Top Day, not much is about reddit recently.
I highly recommend users setup their subscriptions, and set their default feed to subscription and new. This will get them engaging with conversations. Use the All feed to find new stuff to subscribe to. This is a fun experience.
And new is not bad at all (at least for me)
It is a better way to sort during normal hours, but unfortunately I work a weird shift (4a-12:30p EDT) and the “new” page doesn’t seem to change much during my normal breaks and lunch times and activity doesn’t really seem to pick up until around 6:00 p.m. local time, which isn’t far off from when I need to be in bed. We need to get some Australians on this platform.
bad for you that i am a eurobean. but yes, i agree
That’s my Subscriptions feed, sorted by hot. This is the only post that’s about that orangered site.
PS: Oh, if you’re wondering, yeah, that’s from Lemm.ee I am using my lemmy.world account right now to make this comment though.
For now
I really hope so. I’m tired of reading about reddit.
Try sorting by new and look for some communities like illegallysmolbirbs or illegallysmolcats so your subscribed tab is more interesting
yeah me too, it feels like we’re all still collectively whining about our ex.
And the best of reddit gets reposted elsewhere. It’s like a hierarchy of content getting worse until you’re on facebook. That’s where it ends and the worst crap accumulates.
iFunny is the true bottom of the totem pole.
My younger brother gets all his memes and stuff from iFunny. Then was always confused how I had seen them all before
You misspelled ‘cheezburger’.
the Hollywood Squares of social media?
Reddit is supposed to “content aggregation” (originally just news aggregation). So, well… yeah that’s how it should be.
I’m sure that’s accurate enough for some subs but it’s hard to make broad statements about reddit with so many communities. Your experience was whatever you curated for yourself unless you’re one of the weirdos that browsed by All
I WAS that weirdo. HEE HEE!
An arrangement that I (used to) love. Experience the best of Twitter without having to deal with the shit of Twitter.
Now I spend minimal time on Reddit and more time in lemmy. I know not everyone will agree but I wouldn’t mind it if a significant part lemmy was just screenshots of the best things from twitter, reddit, Facebook, 4chan etc
I know not everyone will agree but…
I agree. One of the best things about sites like this is that I can get everything from news to memes on one site. It’s rarely OC anyways so I don’t really care where it’s coming from as long as it’s good content.
And the other half - TikTok
You must have followed a lot of communities that like Twitter. This was not my experience. I don’t remember the last time I saw a Tweet on Reddit and feel like it was measured on one hand in months, maybe years.
When I used reddit I followed 1 subreddit that was for tweets, r/nonpoliticaltwitter. It was really nice because then my feed would occasionally have random tweets with or without context that are just random people talking about things they done/things that happened to them, while not being political at all, it was awesome. Occasionally other subreddits I followed would have tweets posted on them, but it wasn’t often.
…and TikTok. So many videos there have that logo, I always get annoyed by that.
And the other half is Best of TikTok.
It’s 100% of HuffPost.
And the other half is the worst of reddit.
R/Squaredcircle is 200% Twitter.
