I beleive they mean you can’t expect there to be content and also expect it to be fresh and new.

I think “have your cake and eat it too” is a little ill fitting but its the general gist of wanting something and then wanting it to also be something slightly different.

Its not toxic because its new and when something is new people tend to be well behaved around it for a while. This goes for online video games, internet stuff, new brick and mortar buildings. Basically the “Tragedy of the Commons” has not yet occured here.

Yep, that is literally me. I am not particularly techy or whatever and I came here because RiF shut down and the maker said they would be on lemmy.world.i had no idea what that meant but i made it here.

Much googling was involved and after i made like 4 accounts on different instances, bumbled around, settled down and learned to subscribe to stuff, i subbed to communities specifically about the fediverse and finding new communities.

I still havent figured out how to reliably see mastodon or kbin stuff or if i even want to.

I can see how most people wouldn’t bother and have no idea why any of this even matters. I still find reddit much easier to use but philisophically i understand why the fediverse is important.

We are in a rehashed weekly askreddit topic to lump people together and collectively hate them, idk what you expect.

Awesome! Thanks a lot for caring enough to do all this.

I feel like your post is low info outrage bait.i am no expert on all this but this seems dramatic.

I don’t see how it would be possible to stop them to be honest.

I had the same idea after i spent a bunch of time subbing a tons of communities on one account and then realizing actually i want to just look at regional news and politics sometimes and keep all the aww and meme type stuff separate.

I think there is a lot of hype going on here about migrations tbh. Lemmy is cool and all but reddit is certainly still generating/aggregating way more content and its where most lemmy content is originating at this moment. I think for now the tech folks are here setting up, a few of us are bumbling around discovering this, and everyone else is still on reddit. I am not a very techy person myself and lemmy is a weird system to wrap your mind around coming from reddit and I can see how people may not bother, especially this early. Just choosing an instance and then finding communities is like an absolute mindmelter if you’re used to reddit and its’ easy to see why people on reddit would not be keen to move away.
