This has come to mind because all the chatter about Meta federating.
I see a lot of people saying they’d love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.
I truly don’t get this.
I’m not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I’d be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It’s just a community of real people having conversations.
If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.
PD: I hope this doesn’t come across as wall-keeping (or however it’s said lol), It’s my honest opinion.
… there are too many Reddit posts on here. I wish lemmy could have its own content and vibe.
I mean most of the “Reddit content” on Lemmy is thing that get posted to Reddit from other sites anyway. I don’t think the reddit vibe has existed except the same tired comments for a long time now
it’s literally screen shots of reddit. it’s weird to be on another platform, but still look at reddit.
And Reddit was just screenshots of Twitter/insta/FB
Start posting the content you want to see. That’s the magic of the new beginning.
You could try to find content you enjoy on a community instead of just browsing All… It’s a big topic right now so of course you’re gonna see a lot of that when you’re scanning everything.
I’ve seen plenty of posts that are original, or are at least as original as they would be on Reddit.
I’m sure it will eventually, it might just take a little while to wash off the Reddit stink
