Lemmy, can we do better? I came here to hang out with a scrappy new community of people excited about cool shit. Instead it's a bunch of people bitching about Reddit and X. C'mon let's make this place fun and exciting.
Sir, this is a technology sub/comm. It must be filled with articles about social media businesses at all times, or the ancient ones will get hungry.
There are plenty of budding communities in the federation. The Reddit and X posts are slowing down, so that is nice. Not so long ago, Lemmy was absolutely flooded by /c/memes, but other activity has started to balance it out. The main problem is that it took years to build some of the niche subs on Reddit so it will take time to get those started again.
An even better sign is that OC NSFW creators are showing up here more and more. Where they go, people follow, no questions asked.
Don't forget jerking off over Linux
mander.xyz is awesome, if you select by local you only get science posts from communities that are visited and commented on. programming.dev has some good communities too, that probably need some good comments and content so people don't give up on them.
You need to pick your home instance well to have a good head start, otherwise, you'll spend every day blocking communities that take up space in you discovery feed when you select by "all".
