Big Tech designed their platforms to keep you trapped. YouTube, X, Instagram, and TikTok aren't neutral spaces. They're businesses built on capturing your attention and data. Their algorithms, notification systems, and content policies all serve one purpose: keeping you engaged on their terms. And their terms alone. There's no freedom

    Also, more active users means more niche communities. I just realized there’s a Severance community that is medium active. One less thing I need Reddit for.

      Niche communities are awesome ! Sadly reddit is still the king in this aspect.

      Maybe in a few years lemmy will reach that level or even surpass it… One can dream.

        Another thing is google results. When I want a recommendation for anything I will add “Reddit” to my query. This is because I know it will return great recommendations and conversations that help me decide. Hopefully I will eventually be able to just use Lemmy for this.

      What! My outie loves Severance.

      I can’t locate this community using search on the term ‘severance’.

      Do you mind sharing the instance and community name?

      Praise Kier!
