I use a few social media platforms at the same time. I’m used to seeing the same things on each platform. That’s how the internet has been for years - you read the same things on the same five sites.
To be fully transparent, Lemmy isn’t at the top. I don’t post much and I lurk. Sometimes I post a comment here and there.
But this past week, I’m seeing more and more interesting content in the “Everything” section of Lemmy that I didn’t see in my other social media feeds. New communities and more interesting convos.
Uncertain if the fediverse has gotten a wave of new posters, some algorithm has changed, or every other social media company is sucking more and more thanks to America Team Police…
Just wanted to share my extremely limited anecdotal non-fact checked viewpoint.
yeah I agree to I avoid “All/Everything” and just build my fave feeds:
Browsing “all” I can get through “top 12 hours” in about 30 minutes.
You say that like it’s a bad thing!
Yeah and no. When I moved from Reddit, which I also browsed on /r/all it would be an ever ending stream of content.
When moving to Lemmy the amount of content was much less, even more so in 2023. It’s been getting better and better since then.
It was a shock at first and my immediate reaction was of disappointment. However it quickly became apparent how addicted I was to the phone, and not having the content and an absolute refusal to go back to Reddit, meant I started living.
Lemmy has been an absolute plus to my life. I am grateful.
