For now, I will. I'll still be on Reddit (despite what the owners are like, there's still a ton of good content, information, and help on there). But I'll use this, too. I just hope it becomes more active. The best subreddits always have a decent amount of new stuff each day. I'm seeing Lemmy pop up on various "here's where to go to replace Reddit" articles, so that's hopeful.
What I really like is the feeling that this is a new way to experience the internet. There will inevitably be instance mods who are awful, or drama between instances. People are always going to people. But, this really does seem like something different from the "Sign up for one particular website run by a corporation" model. Also, I really hope Lemmy instances can stay ad-free. Maybe the community can think up a way to have a donation function instead of ads.
I'm having some serious issues using lemmy.film. I'm actually posting this from my .world account because I can't even see this post with my .film account. Anyway, some communities I'm subscribed to, I see the posts just fine. Others, I see zero posts, even as the sidebar for the community says there are posts. This includes posts from actual lemmy.film communities. Meta, and moviesnob, for example. I can't see anything in either one.
I've checked my settings, and I'm using undetermined and English. I can't see anything else that would allow me to see more posts. What's going on here?
