Posing this on a whim since I tend to be a lurker on Reddit, but I am really struggling to get into Lemmy. Part of it is that I’m used to lurking but now we all have to put a little more work into not lurking in order to start to get the content we want, but also I have yet to find the sort of shitposting content I guess I’m looking for. Maybe that’s for the best, not really sure. I’m sure I will get used to it if I commit, but I really need some more communities that’ll really capture me
Sorry for the rambly post, really just putting this out there in a communal spirit
Don’t forget that all of these services are rough around the edges when they start out. As a developer, I can tell you from experience that it is 100% impossible to predict how a large group of people will use your software. It always has growing pains as real humans come in and tell you what they need from it. Reddit has had a long time to gather a community and to not only implement but to polish the behavior and performance of its features.
My point is that you’re probably not wrong to not love lemmy or kbin yet. But that things will get better eventually, given continued community and developer investment.
