  I have to agree. Especially with that last one. The amount of cynical people on here making up a strong vocal (hopefully) minority is really disappointing

    Is this comment not cynical and/or pessimistic?

      I’m simply stating what I see and that it’s disappointing. Not sure how that can be seen as cynical or pessimistic

  I set aside some time to really browse communities and subscribe to the ones I’m interested in. My Home feed is pretty good now and isn’t just filled with memes and porn. Sure, there aren’t as much comments as reddit, but it also makes discussions more meaningful because my comments are not instantly buried in low-effort jokes and puns. I just browse All from time to time to see what else is out there and maybe discover some new communities. It also helps to have accounts on different instances because the Local feed varies too.

    My technique is browse All then just block the communities that I’m not interested in, that way I won’t miss any new community that sprouts up.

  there isn’t a while lot of actual content on here.

  I mean how many posts/threads do you really need a day? I read 10-15 or so. That's plenty

    10-15? That’s childs play. I honestly read probably an order of magnitude more than that.

      I mean we all have our preferences, but I personally don't want to go back to my old habit of spending 2-3 hours a day on reddit and lying to myself about why I did it. I try to cap it at an hour on here a day at most.

    In my current subscribed feed, I’m lucky to get 10-15 posts total in a week, and even on All I don’t see nearly 10-15 threads I’m actually interested in in a week.

    I realize a large part of this could be that I need to subscribe to more communities, but I haven’t seen any more that I’m into yet.

      Interesting! I actually have not subscribed to a ton of stuff yet, but I feel like I’m seeing more than enough per day. The actual comments/threads aren’t super populated necessarily, but frankly, I think that’s a good thing. It’s keeping me from doom scrolling and I’m not getting bogged down in arguments like I used to on Reddit.

  I’m not getting any of that stuff because I don’t subscribe to communities that allow that stuff.

  I’ve just taken a look at the “all” tab for the first time and I agree it’s horrendous - but it was like that Reddit as well, I think the solution is to only subscribe to what you’re interested in.

    Yeah, definitely. On Reddit I used to browse both Subscribed and All (with lots of filters). I agree that it was rough there too, but unfortunately I just haven’t found enough active communities here to subscribe to.

    Either way, I’m here for the long haul, and I’m sure it’ll get better over time.
