I came to Lemmy cause Reddit went to shit, so I get that people want to bash it and I also understand that most of the users of Lemmy are from the US and the shit show that’s happening there right now, but I am absolutely tired of these 2 types of posts being the only thing in my feed, I open this app because I want to learn new interesting things, and maybe see some funny and creative stuff, there’s enough negativity and stress in my life and I don’t need more of that on my only social media app. How do I filter these topics from my feed and which communities can I join to improve my feed.
- https://piefed.social/feeds
- I started posting regularly on !buyeuropean@feddit.uk which was originally at similar levels of activities with !buyfromeu@feddit.org, now it’s in the top 10 most active communities of the platform. People will follow content, whatever the mods want to do.
- I just started !ask@lemm.ee 2 days ago, reached 1000 active users just now
- !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone was created after powertripping of !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone, and is now much more active (!fediverselore@lemmy.ca for people interested)
You are saying that the model is broken, but examples above show otherwise.
That’s 2-3 communities for how many thousands of servers on the fediverse? Just because in the current growth phase tgere is not one clear winner, soon one will pull in front enough that it will grab all the new users.
This aspect of centralisation will recreate the toxic reddit dynamic of unstoppable mod power.
