Don’t forget to comment if you want to get thrown out of a window too

Defederade? No

Defenestrate!

Awesome! I didn't see that coming but it's perfect

Umm sweaty you didn't type the three paragraph minimum expressing how capitalism is the reason that you stubbed your toe last night and I also noticed you didn't go out of your way to clarify that the Uygher Genocide is fictional western propaganda so unfortunate I'm going to downvote you

We've got like 0.5% of the users. I'm fine with the low hanging fruit till we grow further.

I'm commenting to boost engagement!

Honestly? So much politics around that I don't even try to comment on lots of stuff. Fuck getting downvoted for an opinion doesn't match with whatever americans believe in now.

Come comment on sports stuff! We don't have enough of that, the threads are pretty empty

downvotes don't really matter though it's not like we have karma like on reddit or anything

Stop trying to fill Lemmy with content. Fucks sake. So much stupid surface level low engagement junk either copied from or literally copy pasted from reddit. I'm about ready to just instance block Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ML so I can just read, idk, Blahaj and Solarpunk.

When I think "Original Content" on Lemmy my mind instantly goes to The Police Problem. Super detailed posts about police news. Multiple links in the posts and the comments to multiple perspectives. Very informed takes.

It's not that the others don't have screenshots of each other. Where is that meme that in 1999, there where thousands of pages, now there are 3 and each is full of screenshots of the others?

Yeah, I mean, it's only worth it for this to grow, if it's quality content. I do wish we'd have more niche communities, but I'm fine for what we have now.

Reddit content also suffered intensively. Loose loose fir everyone.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The only original content I can think about right now is polandball. Other than that, reddit did and is doing the same.

Honestly, I either can’t find a group that’s alive, or I see duplicates of the same posts in many groups. Coordinating content and having a searchable master index of groups would make it easier to use.

I'm already struggling with reading the most important stuff on Lemmy, I feel like I'm missing important stuff. I'm quite OK with the amount right now.

Perhaps it'd be nice with a bit more diversity. I can't find many typical female topics, no topics about Asia, Africa or South America (might be a language problem though) and so on.
