Same here, the best of this place feels like sorting by new on reddit. I really want to see it succeed because of the break away from corporations and into open source but it just doesn’t have the numbers or the content yet I guess. I don’t really wanna go back to reddit but staring at your phone is a hard habit to break

Nothing wrong with new sort, do it all the time myself. Honestly, the most logical filter, I was never one obsessed what was "popular", insofar as I was interested in currency/timeliness

I can understand your point of view. There are a lot of nice people, but as we grow there are bound to be a few bad takes mixed in, as I have noticed from time to time since I joined in March. Moderation issues are something that still have to be dealt with on multiple levels.

Each kind of have a different mix of users. Lemmy.world really feels the most like Reddit of any Lemmy instance, in both good and somewhat bad ways. Perhaps other instances will give you more the vibe you like?
