For the unaware, is a alternative to platforms such as Reddit and Tildes. I've been using Lemmy as one of my main social platforms for the past 6 months...

      The same users who get “choice paralysis” from deciding where to post are, typically, the ones who

      I’m not so sure. I sometimes have choice paralysis again on a topic I’m not familiar with, and I’m sure quite a lot of other people do as well

          @threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works , which is quite active as well, has a similar experience: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39248886/17090166

          To me, choice paralysis happens to most of people, whatever their familiarity level with the platform. I would actually be worried if someone knew exactly where to post for any topic, because it would mean they probably just default to their home instance

            I’ve personally developed my system as:

            1. If there are multiple communities, which is the most popular?
            2. If the most popular community is on a problematic instance, skip to the next most popular that is also on a good instance.

            That takes away the paralysis, at least for me.

              What do you do when there are two similarly active communities?

                Hm, I can’t recall encountering that yet, but I can see how that would be a harder one to decide. I suppose I might cycle between them.

                  !android@lemmy.world and !android@lemdro.id comes to mind
