Ah I knew it'd be something that should have seemed obvious to me only after it's explained.
Which do you like the most?
You know I'm not sure. I sure spend a lot of time here on Lemmy but somehow I'm not sure I even exactly like it. I was going through my feed to see if I could find a kind of quirky counterintuitive answer that I could justify by saying at least it's not some super depressing news or angry commentary but they're kinda... all like that.
I guess I cherish all of them equally as much in that I somehow keep coming back.
Theyβre all depressing newsβ¦? :/
Yeh, like a whole lot of US politics and a smattering of more global politics and an even smaller smattering of just bad things that have happened recently. When it's a community not dedicated to that kind of thing it's a post on something tangentially related to it, or a commentary upon it. Occasionally it's not even tangentially related to the supposed focus of the community and someone is just attempting to deliberately inject such subject matter in there artificially, a lot of the rest of the time it's the comments where somebody finds a very tenuous connection to capitalism or Donald Trump or landlords. They're all interesting or maddening enough topics to keep me scrolling but no amount of passion can resist fatigue and boredom after some time. The only other topic that is reliably separate from those other Lemmy greatest hits are people complaining about Reddit or Linux/FOSS discussions which again, are juuuust interesting enough to kinda make me feel like at least there's something here but it's not exactly a barrel of laughs. I realise that comments like this one are their own particular genre of lame, complaining about Lemmy itself as if it contributes, but since you ask lol.
Idk how common it is, but Iβm using it like sub for reddit :)
The trans stuff. Their sociopolitical issues seem more solvable than my own. It gives me hope or something like that despite my issue being physical disability.
Links? :)

Newgrounds. Hasn't had a UI upgrade in near damn 20 years. The vibe hasn't changed and is still a great place for budding creatives to showcase their work.
And of course porn flash games
you say potato I say something else
Iβd have to say cornβs starch for all around versatility.
