Every time I sort by subscribed it's just beehaw posts for days. I get it, they're a big instance, but it's still annoying. I disagree with the people saying Lemmy won't work. It's already working as far as I'm concerned, just some growing pains is all. I think once instances have more concrete ideas about what they will/won't tolerate things will settle down. Everyone is just kind of figuring this out on the fly at the moment.
I think Lemmy is working as intended, indeed. People are coming in with all these preconceived notions. I know I'm new here but they could at least try to get to speed on how this place works rather than crushing it into deformed Reddit. Back in the early EARLY days of 4chan (before all the reasonable people left) we knew to start by lurking and jump in once you understand the zeitgeist of the space.
When I get tired of this, I really like filtering to Local and seeing what the people of Minnesota are up to, for instance.
i subscribed to almost nothing on beehaw.
Almost all I see are posts on the StarTrek lemmy. I suspect the sorting algos are highly broken, though.
