    What is the solution or plan to address that there is no content? I don’t see much here so I go between this and Kbin and still reddit. This community is 99% less toxic than reddit and they are heading in a bad direction in the last years/s. But I want a viable alternative. Lots of content here is reposted over and over in different communities so the % of original content is very low if you consider that.

      I’m really not experiencing that— because there isn’t The Algorithm feeding you Content™, lemmy is more reliant on you subscribing to specific communities and for them to be active. Personally, I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, but, likewise, I get a lot of active content. Im able to, in a satisfactory way, replicate the experience that I had on reddit— minus 99.9% of the toxicity and hostility, of course.

      You may simply find that it’s a mater of fine-tuning your experience here, although the platform itself is still improving. I remember Reddit in its early days, and it, too, took time to improve.

        To add to this, try sorting on something other than the default.

      I think once “Hot” is fixed, the experience will be much better. Edit: Should now be fixed in version 0.18.3
