Lemmy at first was Abit barren but I’m super happy with it now. Let’s hope we don’t see reddit collapse and the masses turn their attention here like the digg event

My biggest complaint is it’s dominated by memes, and in a distant second is news, and that’s kinda it. We need so much more diverse content still.

Feel free to have a look at !newcommunities@lemmy.world for other active communities

Sort by “active” that’s where the most discussion is happening

What I do to get around that is: subscribe to communities that are not memes, news, or tech, then read new posts by “subscribed” and “scaled”. When I run out of those, read “all” to find new communities to subscribe to.

Be the change you want to see!

Anyway those are probably the lowest effort content which is why you see it most. Over time though the other forms will come. Most of Reddits front-page is memes and news for the same reason.

I’m only but one person.

On one hand I think it’s very positive that everyone starts using decentralised platforms that don’t run on profit, that work for their users and not their shareholders, but on the other hand having a space mostly without conservatives is great.

Politics is so stupid and bipolar

I hope Lemmy doesn’t become overrun with reddit’s far-right psychos after reddit collapses.

So long as the Israeli bot networks stay off of here. I don’t like how China is discussed here but it’s a function of the type of people this place attracts, i.e not fans of authority.

i’m not completely confident that those far-right psychos are even real people for the most part. Reddit is probably the most botted place on the internet.

We can’t stop them from using Lemmy either. They’ll come.

But this time we can defederate from servers that tolerate intolerance.

Also encouraging our local instance admins who are or seem receptive to not tolerate the intolerant.

Like Facebook, Reddit will probably just become a cesspool of conservative morons. I’m fine with them staying on Reddit. I don’t think it’s gonna “collapse” anytime soon.

I imagine that many will flock to right-wing friendly instances that end up widely defederated. Most of them though will go back to 4chan and other similar sites.

Exploding Heads is a Nazi instance that many people don’t even know about because of how defederated it is.

Was, it’s no longer in existence currently. Many of them moved to Nostr, though some of their members came back to Lemmy and set up the hilariouschaos Lemmy instance.

Gross, thanks for the info though.

They’d get sent to Exploding Heads, most likely.
