Ok , here we go.
I like lemmy a lot.
Mastodon and all the others are too complicated with too many dam options for threads. Not to mention I hate the Twitter layout.
Like look,
I want lemmy to have more users. The lack of engagement here is just beyond sad.
I’ve seen a lot of lemmy instances with like 1 user a month. Seriously? What the fuck?
I’m entertaining a thought to create a lemmy instance, but is there even a point? Should i even bother?
I feel like the issue with these reddit alternatives, is the LACK of content and users.
What do you think?
Isnt this similar to Reddit? There I also found interesting communities mostly when other people recommended it, and not through some kind of algorithm. If you just got a list of all federated communities, most of them would probably be dead or irrelevant.
That’s one way of doing it. The way I found the most interesting and niché subreddits was by hanging out in /all/new.
That seems to be the current status quo on lemmy. When you browse your homeinstance’s federated communities or visit a different instance and list their local communities, it seems there’s not very much logic to the sorting. There’s no way of sorting them by i.e. activity.
That’s why I go to /all/new on lemmy as well. I see every new post to every federated community. It’s a gauge of activity and I see communities I didn’t know existed because other users subscribed to them and pulled them in.
The ideal /all/new for me would show new posts from all communities.
