Don’t force yourself if you don’t feel like it. Lemmy still have a lot of rough edges, hopefully it will get better over time, but at the moment it takes some commitment to use it as a Reddit replacement
Have you tried kbin? Same content in that it’s Lemmy compatible, but slightly different sorting algorithm which (in my view) seems to result in a more rounded/balanced set of posts being promoted.
Yes there a different set of issues - it’s earlier in it’s development phase, but developing fast (collapsibling comments is being worked on, API (and therefore 3rd party apps) is imminent, many other improvements are developed and expecting to go live this month…
You are rather missing my point. Because it sorts on boosts rather than upvotes it surfaces different things in the federated ‘all’ feed.
Edit: As corrected below it’s about 10k monthly active users, but that’s still circa 10% of the whole threadiverse (kbin + Lemmy) and only Lemmy.world is larger than kbin.social
Turn federation off and browse /all. 90% of content is the same 4-5 posters or very niche magazines that are full of posts exclusively submitted by the magazine owner. Comments are a bit more varied but you can’t throw a stone without hitting one of about 7 frequent commenters, which also includes the 4-5 post submitters.

Circa 60,000 active users, but whatever…

Slightly less than 10 000 right now, actually. Still, we remain smaller only than Lemmy.world
Thanks for the correction, I read the wrong number! I’ve edited accordingly.
