minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•1 year agoMain problem is finding communities. Before if I had a problem with program XYZ, I would just search for “Reddit XYZ” and I would find and post on that subreddit. But now that I deleted my reddit account, it’s not as easy, you can’t search for “Lemmy XYZ” and get the same immediate clear result.

minus-square@RestrictedAccountlink3•1 year agoI disagree. I have caught myself doom scrolling Lemmy lately.
minus-squareBaldProphetlinkfedilink2•1 year agoMaybe it’s just the communities that I’ve subscribed to. Other than memes, the next most active community is the Linux one. The rest all seem dead. It’s possible that Kbin still has federation issues and I’m simply not seeing all of the content from the communities on Lemmy instances.
minus-squareEchlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-21 year agoThere’s plenty of content. It’s just overshadowed by the deluge of memes. If you block most (or all) of the meme communities, you’ll still have a good feed. Better even, imo.
Thank goodness for the Fediverse.
