You all need to find the courage to close with reddit forever. It’s done, don’t you see it? Everything was taken away from apps to moderators power, purge of old messages, and soon the reward system. What this suppost to mean? What else will be removed? It is in falldown.
I would like to, but the fact is lemmy is 99% shitposts and memes. Don’t get me wrong, I like that stuff but I also need to know wtf is going on in the world. Since losing rif and refusing to use the official app, I am now basically getting news when my wife sees it on Facebook, which means it’s old news by then.
The reality is that the shitpost and meme communities will be the ones that give birth to the niche communities we need to thrive. It’s easy, low-effort, but fun-enough and engaging enough to get people through the door.
Precisely. Sharing your finds and commenting on what others have found is the ideal situation. When only 1% post content, and slightly more comment, it is easy to game the system - like Reddit and these other “socials”.
Lemmy’s robustness will be a function of its people.
It’s a process. Memes are the lowest common denominator, will get a lot of ppl on the site, then small communities will grow. Some are already useful, I curate a list that I follow and see when I open my app, and I can already see world news like the Italy heatwave, actor strike, etc. at the top. Not perfect, but already beter than 1 week ago.
I’m hoping the quality of the content will grow over time. I don’t even give a shit about porn but right now it’s like half this place is posts about wet pussies and subs about ass and it’s grossing me the fuck out. I’ve been curating so it’s getting better but still

Yeah I get that too, but it just shows we’ve been too reliant on others to generate content for us
If it’s the news you need, there are RSS feeds from news sites, I’ve also subscribed to them after leaving Reddit

Lemmy will hit its stride. I did some minor tweaks to my feed and it got a lot better. I’m still getting the lay of the land tho
Do you know if there’s a way to group multiple instances into a “multifeed” like multireddits?
Unsub from memes. It is so much better.
Block memes communities in your profile settings.

I unfortunately still have some subreddits I need to follow there, but much more of my time is spent over here these days.
Same. Reddit is my only source of baseball news and content and there just isn’t a scene for that here on Lemmy…
Maybe I should post…
