I’ve been on Beehaw and Lemmy.world for the past two weeks now and while people seem to be posting content that isn’t about Reddit or Twitter or how great federated platforms are, such content does not receive as many comments/discussion as topics about the Reddit API controversy, or the current Twitter controversy, etc.
I prefer to sort by “new” when on the main page of either Beehaw or Lemmy.world. Most posts scarcely get a few upvotes and almost no comments. Without comments, I feel far less inclined to leave a comment unless there’s a discussion already going on.
It feels like the gravity of discussion is still mostly centered on complaints and discussion about Reddit (or Big Tech in general), despite this platform being billed as a Reddit replacement. Hopefully that changes with time but there’s a reason I haven’t left Reddit yet.
I saw android and selfhost/selfhosted has many content unrelated to reddit there. You can check it.
Exactly, this is just the “current thing” people are talking about, like the submarine fiasco and the Twitter drama

You are welcome. I only know these subs because I frequent them but I think if you search deep enough and ignoring any community that has reddit in its name, you will find good content. 😁
