Wholeheartedly agree. I’m not sure if it’s because my curation is hot garbage or it’s just this is lemmy.
It’s Linux memes and some news.
Maybe some tech news and ai chatter with American politics.
Is that what Reddit was as well ? Maybe I just didn’t see most of it. I just keep filtering
Overall, I’m finding a pretty good mix. I’ve got a pretty nice subscription list, so I’m happy with most of what I’m getting. What kind of stuff are you subscribed to?
Pretty much those listed ha. I jumped ship from reddit to lemmy. Then lemmy to jerboa, jerboa to summit. Summit to sync and now between Lemmy on browser and sync and Infinity. So I need to go right back to curation.
What I’ve found is my niche hobbies don’t exist on lemmy.
I find I sub but can’t sub to it. Assuming it’s something to do with instances but don’t know how to fix it.
Was subbed to mushrooms, mushrooms growers Uncle Ben’s. I’ve seen similar threads but can’t subscribe to them. Game subs like valheim and Witcher. They have no population.
Gardening and my local news outlets are non existent. Hopefully as time goes on more and more filter through from reddit.
There is an entire instance about gardening that is fairly active: https://thegarden.land/c/gardening
Not as active, but we also have some interesting stuff on https://slrpnk.net/c/farming , https://slrpnk.net/c/composting & https://slrpnk.net/c/nolawns
Excellent for gardening. I had an avocado sub and local garden sub too. Which hopefully in time will move to Lenny
Mmm no Reddit back ~10 years ago had a lot more of a community vibe with a wide variation on the front page. Most subs were bearable and porn was pretty rare to reach the front page. We even had mini celebs like unidan, with comments sections being very unique and informative. AMAs were fucking awesome back in the day and not so much filled with fake corporate accounts asking screened questions. Reddit wasn’t really a place for astroturfing because it was small and generally pretty nerdy. Also a lot less bots, everyone and their mother is trying to make a bot. Obviously there were some bad spots like the Boston bomber. Overall Reddit was different, but I think lemmy is really how you choose to curate it and generally my subscribed is quite close to my interests so maybe curate your feed some more and extend your subscribed communities!
That’s what I’m trying but it’s far more different to federation. Lots of threads are bare. I think lots of things have a sweet spot. You little and it’s a Barron no man’s land and too much and it becomes a corporate haunt. Something in-between. Feels intimate but you are at the cutting edge. The front page of internet.
That was reddit for me. I knew things before the news stories.
I had read it.
But now I’ve missed so much moving to lemmy. I don’t know things I’m behind the curve. I’m old outdated and I don’t like it
