i swear i wanna go back to reddit just to experience some actual content again, instead i have the same 4 posts about reddit crumbling or how lemmy is "fresh" and "friendly" and stuff

i mean I'm all for the fediverse and want to see reddit crumble but ffs i want content not reddit vs lemmy drama

I know i can sort by my subs but i want to see shit from all the site since there isn't enough content yet to just stick to my own subs yet more and more I'm finding myself itching to go back to reddit and stopping myself because fuck those guys

I agree that we need to focus on actual content. I’m trying to regularly post and engage in communities about things other then Lemmy and Reddit, but it isjust rough to get this started especially for topics that are less popular. You don’t just want to post without response.

I do keep my sorting by subscriptions and just subscribed to a whole bunch of communities. I noticed that for me more than half of all posts seem to come from Beehaw even though they are smaller than Lemmy.ml and Lemmy.world. It is a good idea to look outside the bounds of your instance.
