I hope we get better content. I’m really tired of all the posts on the frontpage being meta. Like i had to scroll to find anything about the student loan news. I go to reddit and boom I get actual content still.

… i want conversations about things that aren’t lemmy or reddit. … memes are cool but man most of the frontpage that isn’t meta is memes. … Fingers crossed it gets better soon.

I agree… but this is probably the last big reddit thing for a while, so I think the reddit and lemmy stuff will die down from now

I need to stop my Lurking habits and contribute. We need to all do our part to provide content

I joined Lemmy during the blackout. Obviously it was crazy for a few days, but the last week and a half has been news, memes, and real conversations. Really enjoying it here so far!

It’ll come. Early days of reddit I remember being annoyed at all digg posts.

The “hot” front page STILL has posts from days ago.

I give it 3 days before people cave and go back. People will always find a way to get their dopamine fix. If lemmy doesn’t have what they want, suffering through the shitty Reddit app will be a cakewalk compared to giving up the habit altogether

Same, definitely a bummer. The official reddit app is so awful. Lemmy it is…

I had been a Baconreader Premium user for 10 years, kinda sad to see it go.
