Appreciate the leads here!

The big difference is 1. Finding communities is not easy. Can you name every one of your interests off the top of your head? 2. Just punching in communities from reddit 1 for 1 doesn't work. 3. Content and user base. There are no discussions for my favorite podcasts here and if there are where do I find them.

It took me a decade to build out a decent sub list on Reddit and I still stumble upon new interests now and again. I don't know how to "stumble upon" decent communities on Lemmy and I'm sick of wading through cartoon horse cocks.

I'm an example of a filthy casual reddit user who is really struggling to find value in lemmy. Finding an instance where local is of value is difficult, world may as well be "everything", and "everything" is a nightmarish hodgepodge of memes for teenagers, furry porn, really niche technical discussions, and star Trek memes. I never stay in the app longer than a few minutes and I feel like I spend more time blocking weird porn communities than I do reading interesting articles.

The other major issue is having to sort through the exact same article 60 times because people cross post not only to local communities but then also the same communities are duplicated on every instance. I'm probably going to abandon this soon unless I can find some kind of curated community list to subscribe to or something.

What do you mean?

[-] Bodongs@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago

I would if lemmy was even close to an actual replacement.

I'm told it was a woman.

Do you copy and paste comments from reddit? I read this exact comment last night I am SURE of it

They're already using it as a house.

I have a finished basement. I could fit a bed down here. Am I somehow obligated to let somebody live here? You sound like a teenager.

How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a "prevent duplicates" option in any of the clients? I'm pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There's very little content that isn't "memes for teenagers" or "the same news you saw yesterday".

He's a grifter. He doesn't believe anything he's saying, he's just like the guy he's pledging allegiance to. He'll collect in some way, whether it is in royalties from views, speaking engagements, or whatever. He's playing a character.

It doesn't excuse him or his bullshit. But guaranteed this is a grift on the manipulated masses.

I mean, yea, there isn't nearly as much interesting content. And with the way the "Everything" sort works you end up seeing the same thing 100 times across the 100 different similar subreddits each instance has. Honestly lemmy kind of sucks as a reddit replacement. Trying to find the next option.

I'm confused. Who in Barbie is gay? Kens whole thing is he's utterly obsessed with her...
