      I wouldnt be surprised if much of the extremism on lemmy puts a lot of users off, tbh. Ive been seeing more and more remarks about it.

          I’ve had to go ham on blocking entire communities on here with Sync’s filter feature. Reddit at least has so many niche, active communities that you can actively avoid the /r/Europes and the /r/conservatives. With Lemmy, if I scroll through my subscribed communities, I get the same posts for days on end - if I scroll through everything, I get a bunch of Linux and FOSS circle jerks as well as “Tankies”, “Anti-Tankies”, commies, fuckcar communities that aren’t even realistic with the timescale they want things changes, and even more recently some posts from conservative communities.

          Like, don’t get me wrong - I refuse to go back to reddit, but I’ve definitely had the desire to just quit using Lemmy because it feels like there isn’t much here for me.

              I’ve made posts both on this account and a different account from a different instance in the more niche communities that I’d like to see move here and got zero up votes, downvotes, or replies. I’ve even messaged the mods of those communities to discuss ways to get more traffic and got no response.

              I’m willing to keep trying, but the majority of users aren’t and that’s something that Lemmy is going to have to overcome

            There’s a mechanic advice community now on lemmy.world (I think?) And we’re not… idk, not bad yet I haven’t seen any ugliness myself as of yet. Hopefully it will stay that way!

          Yeah. I guess it will vary from instance to instance, but from my personal experience, viewing “All” on Lmemy isn’t noticeably more political than /r/all. There’s maybe less diversity in the stories, and more memes, but still. It’s not bad.

          Reddit has absolutely been way worse at times, by the way. When T_D was allowed to run roughshod over the front page, and spez bent over backwards to not ban them despite clearly being a nuisance and breaking the rules.

          I can eat dick all day. You got some for me? I’m not even communist, just a godless gay-ish socialist.

      Monthly active users are an important metric for companies trying to sell advertising. It’s less important for a community based application where profits are irrelevant. What is more important is how valuable the content is to you, and if it’s not, you can put in an effort to provide content you, and others, find valuable.

      Fuck Reddit, but I also feel like Boost will give us a boost. It’s got some features I’ve yet to find on other apps and hopefully will make Lemmy a little easier for people like me who made the switch

      It’s also pretty much exactly like the app for reddit was which had a big following so hopefully will make it easier for former boost on Reddit users to switch to lemmy
