It’s not the same over here… I miss reddit. People on Lemmy are defeatet and/or want to go full world war 3, instead of uniting to prevent it. How many people on here are bots?.. How many on here are spies… I miss reddit. There were bad people over there too… But the majority were good. The majority were logical and united. I miss reddit. I think I don’t like Lemmy.
Go on. Tell me all the ways reddit sucks. Don’t give me hope of unification. Don’t stand with me. Just write the comment you came here to write.
I will say that I’ve only had Lemmy installed for a few days and I kinda feel the same way.
Mostly because I see the HUGE potential that Lemmy has, but right now, for the most part, it’s very quiet here. Maybe I haven’t found the right communities yet, but most posts I’m seeing don’t get very much engagement or discussion going. It feels like a ghost town here, which is sad because Lemmy feels like it has so much potential.
Lemmy is also confusing for non-techy users. I’m a software dev, and I find the federation part annoying and slightly confusing. It seems like every server has a ‘technology’ community, for example. Which one do I follow? I don’t have time to look at each one and see which has the most active and fun discussions. That’s the advantage that Reddit has: for the most part, it’s really easy to discover really active communities.
IDK, I just wish there was a way for Lemmy to feel less segmented, easier to discover actually active and fun communities, and had more users. I won’t leave, but I’m not feeling warm and cozy here so far.
And some are super pessimistic. But hey, be the change you wanna see I guess. I guess we’ll have to wait nad for people to spread the word.
I get that, it really is picking up. I’m making an effort to post in communities to try and get chatter going
