The only thing I see now are memes. That's what I dislike currently about Lemmy. People aren't active in other communities most of the time. I am not here to enjoy a instagram-like feed, I am here to read and discuss, like in the forums.

This is one thing that Lemmy REALLY needs to work on. The hobby- and topic-specific communities need to grow. Lemmy is currently dominated by like 5-10 communities, which is fine, but it really falls short of the experience I had on Reddit in that regard.

In order for niche communities to have a sustainable flow of content, you need a massive amount of users overall. Another obstacle is that niche communities can't grow much because with barely anyone in them, nobody has any reason to go to them.

I am pretty excited to slowly repost all my old content here over the course of several months to reap all those fake internet points again. It isn't reposting if it is a new website.

that won't change until the site expands enough to populate the smaller communities you are personally interested in and they fix the hot algorithm to be like reddits. right now hot is like rising, so it's useless for finding the best content from the day. also problems with federating content from 12 copies of the same exact community copied to 8 instances fighting for the front page makes it even more stale.
