Appreciate the feedback, I definitely want it to "just work".

DUMB. Just another reason for the average user to not bother with the platform IMHO. I can't be arsed to figure out who is censoring or who isn't I just want it to work.

Whaaaaaat. See this is the shit I'm talking about. Stupid I have to watch out for these kinds of pitfalls that I only know about because somebody happens to tell me.

What do you mean "it can see more posts"? I thought the point of world was that it was the general everything respiratory.

The big difference is 1. Finding communities is not easy. Can you name every one of your interests off the top of your head? 2. Just punching in communities from reddit 1 for 1 doesn't work. 3. Content and user base. There are no discussions for my favorite podcasts here and if there are where do I find them.

It took me a decade to build out a decent sub list on Reddit and I still stumble upon new interests now and again. I don't know how to "stumble upon" decent communities on Lemmy and I'm sick of wading through cartoon horse cocks.

I'm an example of a filthy casual reddit user who is really struggling to find value in lemmy. Finding an instance where local is of value is difficult, world may as well be "everything", and "everything" is a nightmarish hodgepodge of memes for teenagers, furry porn, really niche technical discussions, and star Trek memes. I never stay in the app longer than a few minutes and I feel like I spend more time blocking weird porn communities than I do reading interesting articles.

The other major issue is having to sort through the exact same article 60 times because people cross post not only to local communities but then also the same communities are duplicated on every instance. I'm probably going to abandon this soon unless I can find some kind of curated community list to subscribe to or something.

We got Link's Awakening Remake. I'd want an Oracle of Ages and Seasons remake too; but what I *really* want now is an A Link to the Past remake. Also Triforce Heroes. in c/legendofzelda

The worst part about Lemmy is having to scroll past the same article dozens of times when browsing All. (self.asklemmy)

How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a "prevent duplicates" option in any of the clients? I'm pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There's very little content that isn't "memes for teenagers" or "the same news you saw yesterday".
