I mean, yea, there isn't nearly as much interesting content. And with the way the "Everything" sort works you end up seeing the same thing 100 times across the 100 different similar subreddits each instance has. Honestly lemmy kind of sucks as a reddit replacement. Trying to find the next option.
Yeah Iβm glad itβs not Reddit redux. Feels more like Reddit used to be for me, which I preferred.
You'd get a similarly repetitive/Incoherent experience if you had a feed of every single new post to reddit, except that one would be expanding at a rate of thousands of posts per second, and most of them would be porn. This is why they Invented the subscription feed
The subscription feed is very difficult to populate though. Itt isn't easy to try to find things you are interested in without browsing everything and hoping to stumble across it.
