Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content? (lemmy.world)

I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days.

The tone and people on Lemmy is great. I don’t miss Reddit. But I miss the content types. For me Reddit was a topic related news source, a place for great discourse about those news pieces, a place where community members asked constructive questions or shared ideas/projects - and lastly a place for some very specific community types.

Over the last few days I noticed that the first 2 categories of content came over to Lemmy no problem. But the second 2 types I outlined above don’t seem to have come. I went back to Reddit this morning and it’s all still there. Certain types of posts just don’t happen on Lemmy, and on top of that many communities never came over (street_photography is a great example. They literally shut down a subreddit with thousands of users and created a new location in Lemmy/kbin, and instead of coming over the community just evaporated). Other communities are also non existent and some that do exist are simply just not enjoying the same types of posts. I like it here, I want to stay - but it’s difficult. Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks for hearing me out.

TLDR: all of my communities seem to link posts only, many types of posts just don’t seem to happen here.

Thanks. It’s a smaller instance for the Steelers, [email protected]

Ah no wonder you had no discussion

I see. If I may, you may want to comment on a larger community, as a way to get more people reacting.

I used to post to [email protected] , but now I do it in [email protected] because it will have a larger audience.

Lemmy is still a small population, so you might to go to the larger common denominator

Thanks for the advice, there’s definitely a lot more people on the NFL community but the Steelers are generally not viewed well by the NFL fans at large haha.
