    I honestly believe that Lemmy is cool, but it either needs more content or I need to perform a magic trick to make my feed “better”. At least it’s not that addicting, and the “small community, small town” vibes gives charm to it.

    I’ve been here since August 2024 or so.

      I agree, so I’ve been posting photos and things. What we don’t need is a bunch of autoposting bots.

      If you want to find the busy threads though, sort of Active and All. And just see what is going on across the lemmyverse

        Yeah, this helps, but it’s not always topics that really interest me. We kind of need more diversity of content around here.

          I prefer scaled to active sort for that reason.

          I agree though, more content and more content diversity would be great.

          The small percentage that contribute content regularity in social media platforms instead of just consuming are great.

          I’m too boring to have much content that would be good for anything other than microblogging myself though.

        Lemmit bot was one of the first things I blocked. Idk if it’s still around. It would copy like every post and comment from Reddit lol. It clogged my feed so bad. If it’s still a thing, block it, you’ll be glad you did.

      On Reddit, everyone is trying to get a million votes and just brutally murder with words everyone. It either gets really hostile, or just lots of bots posting bot shit.

      On Lemmy: Even the posters I disagree with, I have a lot of fun with them. We say stupid shit all the time and accept the upvotes/downvotes with our shitposts.

        That’s been my experience as well. I’m using a Lemmy client that allows me to tag users, and I’ve been tagging people who have posted comments that annoyed me. A few are obvious trolls, but the rest have posted many comments that I liked or agree with since I’ve tagged them. It’s been refreshing to see, actually

      Lemmy is nice, but the content on it is quite niche. If you want something less tech-oriented, you’re generally out of luck, for example.

      Lemmy’s feed is intentionally (or I think it is intentional at least) worse in this aspect than Reddit’s feed, in order to not be as addictive. Take that how you will.
