It's getting worse by the minute. I really really hope Lemmy usage picks up.
It seriously is. I've been on the site for all of 30 mins now and I am loving it so much more than reddit
Why? It's a less mature platform with less features and not enough content. I get the idea of it being attractive but it's like Mastadon without the content you've got an uphill climb.
The main reason is that although the concessions we make may seem ever so insignificant, they pile up and dettach you from what you were looking for in the first place. You barely see your acquaintances posts on instagram or facebook anymore. Twitter is on it's way to become a cesspool. Every new Reddit "feature" just makes the experience worse. It won't be long for those platforms to all converge into a big mind grinder for propaganda.
In fediverse there is no valuation seeking to ruin things, and there won't be for the foreseeable future, so it's good ground to build upon, it's just good sense.
Take the content problem for example. You can think of that as an opportunity to be the content you want to see.
