One of the advantages of being on Kbin is that you can scroll All by New, and see genuinely interesting content (kbin.social)

On Reddit, browsing r/All by new would show so much spam, it was really pointless if you just were looking for content. One relied on reddit's algorithm to show you new stuff you hadn't actively searched for. The nice thing about Kbin, and the threadiverse in general, is that you can browse m/All by New as see genuinely interesting posts.

Yet to find interesting content.

Given the volume and breath of content going past in the federated feed, that may say more about you?

[–] Colombo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't say necessarily more, since fediverse lacks tools to find interesting content in the first place, and everything is still in the wild west area, but certainly, if you dislike a book, movie or a dish, it tells something about you. It would be however prudent to not make a boatload of assumptions about the consumer.

Well a lot of stuff posted on here seem tech related (or cat related lol) so i get if youre not into that maybe doesnt seem so interesting. But it can help if you look in magazine for your country/city maybe. Or for your interest. Or even something like cooking or news if you like news?

This sounds more like you're only looking at subscribed magazines... I see way, way, more stuff than cats and tech. There is also an infinite number of fricken anime posts out there that I can't block fast enough.

I see very few cats posts in All>new, but it's a link aggregation social site and majority of the early adopters here are tech nerds so of course there is a lot of those articles posted.

I am subscribed to the tech-related magazines, but their content is only a speckle of what is posted on reddit, even after a bunch of tech people migrated. And the discussion is also less interesting, on Reddit there usually was a number of lengthy posts explaining the background and commenting on the news, not much here. At least in the magazines I subscribed to.

Most stuff on the main page is just circlejerk about how kbin/lemmy has is so much better (community, content, discussions) than Reddit. I don't find that interesting at all.

So far it feels like the fediverse is full of immature children who are more interested in validating their own opinions rather than deep and lengthy discussions about topics.
