Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page.

Edit btw for those who are wondering the two communities I started are https://lemmy.world/c/newmusic and https://kbin.social/m/musicfeedback/microblog (not sure if I have the links correct for people)

Well said. Thank you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I'd like to complain about reddit for at least another month, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I’m tired of the Reddit and fed drama. Ready to move on.

I am! We are!

(Just- make sure to subscribe to more places. There are a ton of communities spread around on various instances)

I am actually trying to find more of it! I love burn corposhit style drama. Its a bit all over the place though so i can see why its annoying. Maybe i should start my own community..

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I post media reviews on my sublemmy :D [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Come on, the Reddit drama is juicy AF to talk about. It's why I'm here. Don't gatekeep bro.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Not mine but I really like [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Already have more posts and comments than my 12 year reddit history. I'm trying my best to adapt and survive.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Im having the opposite problem - when I sort by top of day I get a really fast scroll I cant keep up with.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm definitely in support of "mega-threading" anything related to the Reddit blackout unless it's big breaking news (but mega-thread those events too).

I've also started to look for communities for some of my interests, but I suspect it's going to take a while before a lot of them spread to here. There are also a bunch that I can't really start since I am primarily a consumer and not a producer (specialized topics like astrophysics that I am not a subject matter expert for).

Do we already have a list of subreddit replacements on lemmy, kbin etc. somewhere?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes, give me a moment and I'll link it

Edit: Here it is, this is an explorer for Lemmy: https://lemmyverse.net/

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

No, I think it kind of goes against what we're trying to do here - if a list like that became popular, it would supercharge the growth of certain communities

There's a lot of people pushing for that because it would make the site a straight Reddit replacement, but the promise here is a lot like the original promise of Reddit - give users a single place they can go to access a bunch of small forums

If someone makes a community for that purpose or a community wants to draw in all the Reddit refugees, I have no problem with that, but I think the growth would be healthier if people find them organically rather than putting a centralized list somewhere

Sites will start to pull in a community if any of the members on that instance sub to it and there's talk of adding the ability for communities to band together in multis

Yeah I agree, Lemmy needs to be it’s own thing and not just a Reddit hate platform. But so far the experience has been great.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Go subscribe to some communities you like, show subscribed, profit.

If you’ve got any puzzling items around, post them to What is this thing? for us to work on. New content is very welcome!

Shameless community promotion: https://lemmy.world/c/general

If you're not sure if your post will fit in another community's niche, and it's not really a shitpost (see: https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyshitpost for that!), General Discussion's got ya covered.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

meh, I don't mind it. Add the content you want to add. Scroll on past the content you don't want to read. It's not a big deal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'm doing my best to post in small communities of interest to me. Growth will take time though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes please! The biggest downside to these places are that they won't shut up about reddit. There is almost no interesting content just post after post of people talking about reddit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's quite possible that a lot of these posts aren't the same ones, but new faces just coming from Reddit and venting. If you're over the discussion then move on the next topic in the feed. Most of the Reddit posts usually are in Reddit-specific communities like m/RedditMigration. Block them and you'll see less stuff.
