I like Lemmy well enough, it’s just a way smaller community; maybe I’m not spreading myself around enough over there, but I’ll close the app, check back in three hours later and still see many of the same posts in my feed - stuff just doesn’t seem to cycle through as fast over there.

I changed my feed by default from active to hot and that seems to have increased the amount of new posts cycling through but yeah, at the moment the sheer volume of content just isn't here

But at the same time every minute on Lemmy is a minute less on Reddit so I'll continue to support it

just got shadowbanned for a simple comment removal to responding to someones joke, and the mods thought my comment wasnt a joke. and reddits filter autoshadown bans now. i went on shadowban sub, and alot of people are getting shadownbanned as soon as they create an account.

Is it weird that I view a finite amount of content as a feature? It satisfies my desire to scroll while being a lot less addicting. Ofc if you have some niche interest you might be screwed. I never used reddit much in the first place and never made an account over there so I might be an outlier.

Same. I have a hard time not pulling that slot machine wheel if it's there. It's nice to have a feed of just the topics I requested from the communities I know are well moderated. Despite spending less time and consuming less content I actually feel more informed.

Just for context, aussie.zone suffers from a 4 days delay with LW, which probably doesn't help: https://aussie.zone/post/18681158

Some day LW will enable parallel sending lol, hopefully soon. I'm really curious how much it will help.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Let's wait and see, but it doesn't seem like it will be that soon

What are they doing, sending data by schooner?

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The details are in the linked post

I usually just stick with subscribed/scaled, but personally I view not being flooded with low quality content as a feature.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago

Subscribed/Scaled is my go-to, and then switching sort to New Comments if I'm bored and looking for active discussions.

But to get a good Subscribed feed going you have to really scour !newcommunities@lemmy.world !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl for a while.

Hide read posts setting. It helps

I love the discussions on Lemmy. They feel much more meaningfull than on reddit. Reddits top comments are always some dumbass meme or one liner. Then the people who actually have good arguments are being downvoted for being wrong (and hidden).

I also love (but perhaps that is a voyager app thing) that downvoted comments on lemmy aren't hidden by default.

No matter if someone disagrees with you or views things differently, you should always allow them to express their opinion. Sticking your head in the sand isn't good for anyone.

I like this about Lemmy too, I am also guilty of one liners as I have also made them, but I try not to in a serious discussion. In reddit if you take a highly upvoted post most often the top comment would be some joke and the follow ups are riding that joke, even if someone makes some good well thought out comment, the following comment seems jokes or one liners picking on the comment. Good comments gets buried underneath all the trash comments and it feel like a chore digging through those comments to find some meaningful comment. I understand when this happens in meme/shit posts but when it happens in tech or serious post i get pissed.
I knew about Lemmy 3 years ago and joined lemmy during the api bullshit about 2 years ago. After that, I had my time where I went back to reddit ocassionally as initially I felt there were way less content on Lemmy, but every time I went back I just couldn't get along with reddit, even though the content was high lot of it were just trash and the comments weren't engaging and mostly toxic or circle-jerking. I am glad that I am now settled in Lemmy and have now limited reddit to only finding answers to obscure tech problems.

I usually switch between Subscribed/Hot, Subscribed/Top 24 and All/Scaled, All/Hot and All/New, for a mix of what is the "talk of the town", and discovering new communities and content. I think that there is actually a lot more content already, than what people may think at first glance.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm also on aussie.zone and All with Top 6h seems to cycle pretty decent. And if I run out of stuff I switch to All Active.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

Top 6h represent!!!!!

I'm an All/Top (6 hours) junkie.
