Where do we really stand on supporting reddit migration? We want to get people off corporate social media right?

Where do we really stand on supporting reddit migration? We want to get people off corporate social media right? - Lemmy.World

Whenever barrier to entry is discussed for lemmy, and reducing confusion for different servers is brought up, all of the isolationist comments come out of the woodwork. Apparently redditors who are too dumb to register should stay on reddit? We have a platform that seems to be working and slowly growing. Shouldnt we want good defaults in place to give the best possible experience with minimal user effort?

Okay so how is there no nerdy subs for stuff like this?

There isn’t that few of us, I think we just keep getting downed in politics.

I havent really kept tabs on how the “everything” feed works. Does it show posts from small communities here and there? Or is it the most upvoted stuff over the instance?

Some engagement algorithms to showcase popular posts from smaller communities seems like a good way to get people to branch from politics abd linux a little bit.

So I sort either by hot or active, and view either home or all.

Home + hot is the least noisy and I use it for my feed good time, although lots of politics still comes through.

All + active shows you the most controversial stuff, pretty much your regular political dramas.

All + hot leads to random posts from communities that are obscure, can be very fun sometimes.

Honestly, imo the biggest problem is the state of the world, not the technology
