Everyone who doesn't like it just leaves immediately. That's like going to a Detroit Red WIngs game and asking the crowd who their favorite hockey team in the state is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi 33 points 3 years ago* (2 children) "Dumb" is too strong a word for the way the questions were worded. I know some users here are on Tildes as well, or Squabble (idk if that's how you spell it). Doesn't mean lemmy is THE alternative - just one of many minor ones. Also, being on lemmy doesn't mean you're not thinking of moving away specially with Meta's arrival. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 14 points 3 years ago Meta is a twitter replacement not reddit if I went over there I wouldn't leave lemmy permalink fedilink source parent [–] JoumanaKayrouz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Ok, I guess I could see that. I've just not felt the need to use other link aggregators, but Mastodon and Pixelfed have been a cool experience for me so far. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Schmedes@lemmy.world 10 points 3 years ago (1 child) I'm looking for Reddit alternatives and so far Lemmy does a fairly decent job. I'm hoping to recapture the old Reddit feel where there was enough content but not so many users where everything just turned into drama or a flame war in the comment section. So far Lemmy seems fairly slow with content but that's probably a good thing for me, I shouldn't be using this stuff to fill my time as much. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JoumanaKayrouz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago (2 children) The changes in the sorting method has helped, but I agree. I am not sure if it's a sorting issue or content issue. However, I have blocked like 6 meme shitposting comms, because it was annoying as shit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Schmedes@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I'm still getting a feel for how all of this works together, so I haven't bothered blocking any communities yet.
