i swear i wanna go back to reddit just to experience some actual content again, instead i have the same 4 posts about reddit crumbling or how lemmy is “fresh” and “friendly” and stuff

i mean I’m all for the fediverse and want to see reddit crumble but ffs i want content not reddit vs lemmy drama

I know i can sort by my subs but i want to see shit from all the site since there isn’t enough content yet to just stick to my own subs yet more and more I’m finding myself itching to go back to reddit and stopping myself because fuck those guys

Shit’s still going down, the situation is not yet resolved with reddit

It’s understandable to want content and an active community, but that’s exactly what many people are cheering: the more Reddit crumbles, the more people will leave and create/share content elsewhere (like here)

Almost this exact thing happened last year on mastodon after the Twitter meltdown, once everyone’s settled on their new sites the meta posts should calm down quite a bit.

Well, it’s a hot button topic right now, can you really blame them? I do find that it helps to subscribe to communities in multiple instances. For example, I am subscribed to both !gaming@lemmy.ml and !gaming@lemmy.world

Hopefully, they’ll find a way to eventually group these communities together in a common space or share posts, etc.

I hear you. There is a lot of premature celebration. But, developers need to see the excitement about this type of platform if they are going to spend time working on it. There’s a lot of us out there who can contribute more if this type of fervor and excitement can be sustained. It’s tough working on things that it feels like no one will ever use. We’re fighting against major corporations here with some of the deepest pockets in the world.
