Comment on do you miss any content from reddit?

The thing I miss most from reddit is the ability to find decently sized communities for extremely niche topics. Lemmy just isn’t big enough to support that. However, I certainly don’t miss it enough to actually go back to using Reddit. There’s other places to go for that (like Discord servers / Matrix spaces).

My new thing is im trying to slowly reduce my topic specific questions in catchall Ask comms like this and instead submitting to the actual community that concerns it

Itll be slow but hopefully that can meaningfully shift my own stuff to help beef up the existing topical comms, if everyone does something similar we may actually get somewhere

  ASK, is almost all Propaganda posting, or AI posted. it always involves some kind of ragebaiting.

Exactly. You can find an active subreddit for fucking anything. Find a new anime and want to discuss it? There’s an active sub for that. Find a cool bug and want to identify it? There’s an active sub for that. Want to ask a doctor for casual (off-the-record) medical advice? There’s an active sub for that.

But with Lemmy, the first would probably land in a more generic c/Anime, while the latter ones might struggle to find an appropriate community at all. Because even if the specific communities exist, the chances of them being active enough to get a response are low.

Exactly. I haven’t seen either a woodworking or sewing project over here since I joined, as one example.

No terrible first attempt at dovetails, no probable not first attempt at macarons, no woman wearing the sweater she just knit from alpaca wool.

    I stay on the main feed (app) and just block stuff I’m not interested. I haven’t seen that one break through yet. Thanks!

  It seems trendy lately to brag about how little one reads.

    You’re kidding. How is that even possible? Conservative AI bots pushing for those uneducated masses? Probably, with 51% bit/AI post populations on social media.
    
    In real life, I see the younger generation carrying physical, paper books around at work. We have them in my house, and the people in my house keep one in their cars for wait times.
