Yeah "shit" is somewhat of an exaggeration.

My problems with Lemmy are mainly:

  • Few users
  • Few communities
  • Few posts
  • Few comments
  • Extremely focused on just a couple of topics like Linux, Communism, Star Trek, LGBTQ (nothing against Linux or LGBTQ though) variation is desperately needed
  • Extremely filter bubbly.

variation is desperately needed

I blocked most of those topics, then other stuff starts to appear

i am curious: since those topics make up such a large portion of the content i see on lemmy, do you find that you get a good number of posts to look through without them? i mostly browse all and find i can get through just about everything i'm interested in clicking on in like 30 minutes per day.

maybe it is just a symptom of how i browse the internet and my semi-niche interests, but i find the non-linux hobby communities here to be rather lacking. i know the solution is to post to them myself and i try to, but frankly i don't have that much to post about. it also takes some willpower to keep posting to a 10 person community and get maybe a couple comments every few posts if i'm lucky, but that also could be that my posts aren't very interesting lol

I’m so glad to know about the gardening community, I don’t garden but something about it is so peaceful and calming to me

Yes, I enjoy it a lot too!
