I really want to like Lemmy (lemmy.zip)

I really want to like lemmy, but it's difficult. I'm new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but... I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren't that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It's not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

Fediverse currently reminds me of Reddit from 10 years ago in frequency of content. There is something nice about not being in the rat race, less toxicity.

yeah it's nice knowing that someone is gonna see my comment instead of it getting lost amongst hundreds. feels a lot more like a community that way

It's amazing how many Reddit comments just aren't seen, no wonder so many people end up lurking.

I had 150k+ karma and most of my comments would go unnoticed.

150k? damn

I know I don't post when I see other 1000 comments, even if it's my own personal experience and it could help someone, the truth is no one will see it and it will be just pollution

yea, not worth wasting my time on a comment no one is gonna see

agreed, I missed the old slower reddit, this feels like that again, it's kind of nice
