Lemmy is slowly getting better - Lemmy.world

Just a little rant. When I first visited Lemmy Sites a couple of months ago it felt empty. Besides the really mainstream community pretty much everything else just felt empty. Meanwhile though traffic has increased a lot and I feel well entertained by the traffic in c/hfy c/noncredibledefence c/keepwriting c/worldbuilding and so on. It is certainly less than Reddit but often quality is substancially higher and is “enough” to keep me entertained. Also I like that you can actually post something without running into a bazillion deletes, bans and moderator shitshat because your post was two words to short, not NCD enough and so on. Sure, the C64 community on Lemmy is laughable. So is the ARMA community. I still use REddit for that. Also I often check up stuff on r/hfy and r/NCD but since one week I have been prefering Lemmy for that. Not perfect, not even very good but definitely promising.

I stopped posting to Reddit because frankly it felt like throwing a pebble into the ocean.

I love the smaller approach here

I agree somewhat, I think Lemmy has a way to go though because there are some real big headlines that seem to be missing from Lemmy on certain communities, and often a lot of posts with 0 comments or very few. I know it’s early days but until Lemmy is a reliable source of news for my various hobbies I’ll still be using Reddit alongside. At least on Reddit for all it’s flaws, if there is something big happening in a certain scene, it’ll be there. It’s a one stop shop for all my information.

And clearly that’s what is so dangerous about reddit. Being a one stop shop. Their algorithm totally controls what people see, specially people whose only browsing All.

Who browses r/all?

well definitely not me, But think for a second, why did reddit hate the blackout, partly because it affected the r/all feed. where , im guessing, that they have figures that states that r/all browsing users have significant numbers.
