It's a little bit of a lesson for all; it became a bit easy to doomscroll on Reddit because of karma farming bots and other obsessive people on there. Here, you can't just wait and watch - the content feed only grows if people jump in and post shit, even stuff they're not 1000% confident is awesome.
People will stop posting about reddit any minute now
Hoping with those the service doesn't just become a wasteland like Peertube.
My lemmy is alive. What instance are you on? I can barely keep up
Are we using the same service? I've been scrolling my feed all day.
my advice is to sort by new, there's very few people here compared to the other platform and while federation allows for cross server interaction you still need people to post and vote a lot for hot to refresh like the other's. I don't expect this to get anywhere near as big as the platform but once you've joined a couple communities new should refresh often enough.
PS: if you like leftist memes and propaganda check out lemmygrad which is a fairly large instance.
Yeah, you don't have to subject yourself to marxist garbage to get some content. Just subscribe to communities in multiple instances and browse your subs by new or hot.
