I really enjoy being able to browse by new and the feed isnt just a bunch of junk.
Comment on Is it just me or is Lemmy less active than reddit?

Yes, reddit is one of the most popular sites on the internet and lemmy (the whole fediverse really) is much, much smaller. I browse /all/new, id never do that on reddit.
It’s better this way tbh

everytime i do that here i’m just shocked at all the filth that shows up. very little quality content here.
however if i was a furry who jerked myself off about linux and had a victimhood-superiority complex about my autism, i’d be in heaven. it’s scary to me how prolific that segment of the userbase is here.

Just block the communities you dont like. I dont want porn, non-English comms, etc. Two clicks and problem solved.
Also, why are you scared of autistic Linux furries?

I do, that doesn’t mean they keep making new ones that are ever more specific, or new ones are popping up on new instances.
I’m not scared, I’m annoyed. Just like I hate people who ride Harleys. They are obnoxious and it sucks to be subjected to their bullshit for just existing in the same space as them.
I dont have an issue with people who ride normal motorcycles… almost as if they don’t have anything to prove and are just enjoying their hobby without being obnoxious weird jerks…
It’s also hilarious to me they get so upset that you might find them obnoxious because they really do think they are super wonderful amazing people. I made a complain last week about obnoxious Linux people, and people replied with multi-paragraphs to argue with me how not obnoxious they are and that if I don’t think Linux is special than I’m a pathetic werido who worships windows.
They are that socially clueless and sadly stupid enough to really see the world in ‘me vs everyone else’ terms. When you point out their poor weird behaviors, they just lean into them and get defensive. ‘leave me alone!’ no dude, it’s you that’s not leaving me alone, because you can’t keep your shit to your own communities.

Agreed. Kinda weird how a smaller userbase actually feels better. Only problem is less people to answer specific questions and generally be active in niche communities. On the other hand you know people better, may even get to know them in real life. It’s more personal.

Yeah this is much closer to reddit in the mid 2000s. I’ll happily take the trade, even if it means I dont get replies im looking for (although I almost always do, lots of lemmings browse /all/new and stumble onto stuff)
