I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

My participation has dropped a lot compared to when I only just joined. There is only so much us centric doomer content I can stomach, and Lemmy is so extremely political that it is impossible to just browse cat memes and have a good time. So I spend less time here I suppose.

    I just started filtering all of it

    This is the way. I am happy to hear you are taking control of your lemmy experience.

    It’s so much better! Filter, report, stand up, and block. I’m so done with people being unnecessarily rude and I immediately stop contact with them here. If it’s me I try to apologize. All that garbage should stay on reddit

    Sounds like you don't understand how to curate the content lemmy has to offer. I understand the hesitation, there just isn't as much content here as there is on reddit.

    But if you don't want to see most of whats here, just don't visit 4 times a day like people do with reddit. The content turn over is slower, so adjust your usage accordingly.
