It’s a very quick way to end up in an echo chamber, Lemmy is a very niche platform. I try to keep up with Reddit, Lemmy and Mastodon. Not a huge amount better, but it’s a bit more variety than one tiny service.

The shit in these comments is why Lemmy is doomed to be a minor platform that will inevitably fizzle out.

Seriously people, there are other interests besides Linux and politics. If we bully out other interests from starting communities on Lemmy it’ll never grow out of obscurity… some may like that but I’d personally like to see it grow into something that can actually compete with Reddit.

I say this as someone who doesn’t like sports at all, but we have these magical things called filters for people like me!

I’m in the same boat, I’m not migrating again unless shit really goes downhill.

Lemmy gives the vibe of “it’s all or nothing, be ready to change at a moment’s notice if something iffy gets said”
