  I keep to Local and Subscribed. I used to explore wider around Lemmy, but the feed is full of US politics, and wars in Gaza and Ukraine. I don’t find many kind people and reasoned discussions in those posts.

  I’m part of the Lemmy problem here as old.reddit has far more activity in niche communities that I enjoy so I stick over there, which then means the activity stays on old.reddit other than with this beautiful community of local awesome people in this daily thread.

  1. I guess if you’re looking for an answer to that, it’s probably (like most things): because they want to.

  2. It’s not that weird. This place has a different vibe to Lemmy as a whole, and most of /top is just memes and stuff. Some people don’t care for memes. We have a good community here of regulars, so it’s not that weird to
