I really love community-driven social media like Reddit. Lemmy feels… too small. I really loved that Reddit let me jump into any niche hobby, and instantly I had a community. Lemmy, you’ll be lucky if that community even exists, and if it does, chances are nobody has posted in ages.

On the other hand, Lemmy is full of political content lately. I’ve basically been doom scrolling everything US election-related, and it’s really starting to take a toll on my mental health.

I know I can filter content. I know I can post and be the change I seek. Yet, it feels like an uphill battle.

Not sure what the point of this is, or if it’s even the right community to vent about this. I just really want to replace Reddit, but I find myself going back more and more (e.g. r/homekit is very active compared to Lemmy version).

and the Fediverse in general

A significant number of the not-Lemmy-or-Mastodon servers support emoji and custom emoticon tags, not just 'up', 'down', or 'star'. I wish that was more widely adopted.

I’d like to see us really embrace the improv mantra of “yes, and”. Agreement is great, but add something before you go. Upvote and comment.

That would be great, but does not seem on Lemmy devs priority list. Maybe Piefed

I wonder how much fuss would have to be put up in order to get nodeBB supporting it.
