Yeah, remember the reaction when that one post got popular about lemmy being boring for anyone that wasn’t a SWE/Linux user?
People got so pissed off, one of the top posts on lemmy that day was something to the affect of “fuck you, we’re not obligated to post things you like”. Which, yeah, you’re not - but you also can’t blame people for losing interest in your platform when you only have active discussion on one or two relatively niche topics.
The fact is that Lemmy is garbage for discussing hobbys or interests outside of a few niche areas. On reddit my feed was filled with woodworking, 3d printing, Astronomy, and other topics that get very little traffic on lemmy.
My lemmy feed is mostly politics, then SWE stuff, then memes
Just did a 5k for cancer research this weekend and we got a medal for it 🤷🏼♂️ hell, my wife and dog (yes, my dog got her own medal, it was adorable) got one for one walking it 😅
Ultimately it’s just a piece of cheap metal, not like it’s impractical to give them out willy nilly
