blue_berryHypothesis: Insufficient moderation tools lead to instance protectionism, which leads to a decline in the overall discussion quality on Lemmy
ubermeistersYeah my local is just as trash as the all though?
I’m just about ready to give up. I knew it wasn’t going to be Reddit but to be honest it feels like everybody here is trying to make something work that isn’t, and it’s exhausting blocking all these stupid fucking communities made for extremely specific weird shit.
TeppicHave you tried kbin? Same content in that it's Lemmy compatible, but slightly different sorting algorithm which (in my view) seems to result in a more rounded/balanced set of posts being promoted.
Yes there a different set of issues - it's earlier in it's development phase, but developing fast (collapsibling comments is being worked on, API (and therefore 3rd party apps) is imminent, many other improvements are developed and expecting to go live this month...

some_guyKbin is like 7 people posting content lol
You are rather missing my point. Because it sorts on boosts rather than upvotes it surfaces different things in the federated 'all' feed.
What’s the difference between a boost and an upvote?
Cynetri (he/any)I think a boost is referring to the Mastodon kind, so basically a retweet
Indeed. Activity pub includes favourites and boosts.
Lemmy uses favourites as an upvote. Kbin does too, but kbin also allows boots and it considers that a boost (which is like a retweet) is a more significant endorsement so sorting and reputation is based more on boosts than on upvotes.

Turn federation off and browse /all. 90% of content is the same 4-5 posters or very niche magazines that are full of posts exclusively submitted by the magazine owner. Comments are a bit more varied but you can’t throw a stone without hitting one of about 7 frequent commenters, which also includes the 4-5 post submitters.
Kierunkowy74Slightly less than 10 000 right now, actually. Still, we remain smaller only than Lemmy.world
Thanks for the correction, I read the wrong number! I've edited accordingly.
ExcelIt’s federated, so the local user count is completely irrelevant.
Especially when OP even specifically said that you would see the SAME content, just with different sorting.
