Happy Easter! 🐣🌻
I started just looking at Everything, and blocking the groups I’m not interested in.
None I just look at new because there’s not enough content on Lemmy to filter it
706
Most are empty of new content which is fine. Pretty much the only stuff I unsubscribe to is tech or politics subs that seem overrun with bad opinions, or meme / fluff content. In particular I like:

Same, same.
Here is my unscientific assessment, presented with maximal pissing everyone off energy:
- !technology@lemmy.world @lemmy.world - Idiots
- !linux@lemmy.ml @lemmy.ml - Idiots
- !technology@beehaw.org @beehaw.org - Fine
- !world@lemmy.world @lemmy.world - Shouty, bad opinions
- !technology@lemmy.ml @lemmy.ml - Absolutely massive idiots
- !worldnews@lemmy.ml @lemmy.ml - Shouty bad opinions backed by the firepower of mod censorship
- !programmerhumor@lemmy.ml @lemmy.ml - Idiots
- !opensource@lemmy.ml @lemmy.ml - More idiots
- !news@beehaw.org @beehaw.org - Kinda quiet but fine
- !news@lemmy.world @lemmy.world - Bad opinions
- !politics@lemmy.world @lemmy.world - Fine, weirdly enough (aside from a massive and vocal shill population)
- !programming@programming.dev @programming.dev - More massive idiots
I guess maybe it’s offensive that I’m calling so many people idiots. I’m not tryin to be offensive or insult any particular reader or poster or any person in particular; I’m just talking about the general vibe of the sub. Especially on the tech subs, there’s just this really notable feature that the level of how much people understand things is really unusually low, and the level of how confident they are in their opinions and passing judgement on everything and arguing about it is really unusual and shockingly high.
So like as an example take this post. Dude is coming in like “hey what do you think of this,” posts a perfectly reasonable and actually really insightful and in-depth-knowledgeable article, and a whole bunch of people who the point of the article went totally over their heads come in to tell him “BRO HE DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT, C IS LOW LEVEL, HOW CAN YOU SAY IT’S NOT.” It was absolutely unanimous. I really tried to come up with a different word for what that is, that wouldn’t be offensive, but I couldn’t manage it. It’s just… I don’t know. It’s a toxic and unproductive environment that makes me not want to be involved.
I have so many of these blocked lol.
I blocked so many meme communities which helped my ALL feed look better, but then it was filled with political shit. The problem is, any time something controversial happens regarding someone the broader community doesn’t like (elon musk, trump, republicans in general), you have thread after thread after thread of this shit popping up. I don’t care to hear why republican bad, because I already know republican bad. I’m an intellectually curious being with better things to do with my time than hear about the latest political thing.
And then finally as you said, the technology communites can be a bit tiresome, like when there’s a post about every single time a frickin’ library updates.

112 but at least half are silent/gone. What are your favs?
Yeah, it’s interesting what lives and what doesn’t. Star Trek stuff…? Still big on the website. LOTR stuff? Basically a dead corpse.
I really wonder how long Lemmy will really last. It really feels like a website sustained by like 5 dudes mostly reposting content, with any actual discussion becoming increasingly circlejerk-y as time goes on.
No, but it’s not really indicative of a healthy, long lasting website if essentially all of its posts are just coming from other websites. Why would anyone come here if they could just go on twitter or Reddit or wherever else and see the content directly?
Thanks for asking, some of my favs are:
mander.xyz account: 100~150. Sometimes I browse “all” and “local” but it’s specifically to look for new comms to subscribe to.
ani.social account: 15~20. I typically browse there by “local”.
