I like Lemmy well enough, it’s just a way smaller community; maybe I’m not spreading myself around enough over there, but I’ll close the app, check back in three hours later and still see many of the same posts in my feed - stuff just doesn’t seem to cycle through as fast over there.
I changed my feed by default from active to hot and that seems to have increased the amount of new posts cycling through but yeah, at the moment the sheer volume of content just isn’t here
But at the same time every minute on Lemmy is a minute less on Reddit so I’ll continue to support it
just got shadowbanned for a simple comment removal to responding to someones joke, and the mods thought my comment wasnt a joke. and reddits filter autoshadown bans now. i went on shadowban sub, and alot of people are getting shadownbanned as soon as they create an account.
Is it weird that I view a finite amount of content as a feature? It satisfies my desire to scroll while being a lot less addicting. Ofc if you have some niche interest you might be screwed. I never used reddit much in the first place and never made an account over there so I might be an outlier.
Same. I have a hard time not pulling that slot machine wheel if it’s there. It’s nice to have a feed of just the topics I requested from the communities I know are well moderated. Despite spending less time and consuming less content I actually feel more informed.
I love the discussions on Lemmy. They feel much more meaningfull than on reddit. Reddits top comments are always some dumbass meme or one liner. Then the people who actually have good arguments are being downvoted for being wrong (and hidden).
I also love (but perhaps that is a voyager app thing) that downvoted comments on lemmy aren’t hidden by default.
No matter if someone disagrees with you or views things differently, you should always allow them to express their opinion. Sticking your head in the sand isn’t good for anyone.
I usually switch between Subscribed/Hot, Subscribed/Top 24 and All/Scaled, All/Hot and All/New, for a mix of what is the “talk of the town”, and discovering new communities and content. I think that there is actually a lot more content already, than what people may think at first glance.
That top comment is the exact same feeling I have

Just for context, aussie.zone suffers from a 4 days delay with LW, which probably doesn’t help: https://aussie.zone/post/18681158
Some day LW will enable parallel sending lol, hopefully soon. I’m really curious how much it will help.
Let’s wait and see, but it doesn’t seem like it will be that soon
What are they doing, sending data by schooner?
The details are in the linked post
Better safe than sorry
I usually just stick with subscribed/scaled, but personally I view not being flooded with low quality content as a feature.
Subscribed/Scaled is my go-to, and then switching sort to New Comments if I’m bored and looking for active discussions.
But to get a good Subscribed feed going you have to really scour !newcommunities@lemmy.world !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl for a while.
Hide read posts setting. It helps

I’m also on aussie.zone and All with Top 6h seems to cycle pretty decent. And if I run out of stuff I switch to All Active.
Top 6h represent!!!
I’m an All/Top (6 hours) junkie.
