I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

    I know the feeling, but the way I’m dealing with it is twofold.

    1. Create content. If the commuity you like has few posts, then start something. If the community doesn’t exist, create it. I’m doing my part by creating maliciouscompliance (quick shoutout: /c/[email protected] , https://lemmy.world/c/maliciouscompliance , [email protected] ).

    2. Recognise that I used to spend too much time on Reddit and I should spend less time on social media in general. “Not as doomscrolly” is a feature for me, although I recognise this isn’t for everyone.
