I've mentioned this elsewhere, but without a steady stream of content, this will not work. I look at "All" every day and I find content to be generally lacking.
We need to be organized and have a game plan for how to proceed over the next 3-6 months. Imo, we need to be scraping the top content from Reddit, and we need to be recreating all of the top subreddit communities.
I’ve been pretty happy with the content actually, what do you think is missing?
Not the person you asked, but so far it feels like I see more memes here than I did on Reddit. I don’t see a lot of news, and the communities I was subbed to on Reddit are not active here at all. That includes communities based around running, hiking, nature, and female fashion advice for example.
I have blocked most of the meme communities and all seems just fine to me now.
This helps, but ideally lemmy should make some changes that give smaller subs more equality with bigger ones in the sorting.
Right now even if a small community is active, it just gets drowned out by the bigger ones, even in your subscription feed.
I think they are working on tweaking the hot sort a bit more to make it more representative so the huge communities don't drown out the smaller ones especially in subscribed
Or some equivalent of a multireddit where you can look at some quiet communities as a block.
