I will say that I’ve only had Lemmy installed for a few days and I kinda feel the same way.

Mostly because I see the HUGE potential that Lemmy has, but right now, for the most part, it’s very quiet here. Maybe I haven’t found the right communities yet, but most posts I’m seeing don’t get very much engagement or discussion going. It feels like a ghost town here, which is sad because Lemmy feels like it has so much potential.

Lemmy is also confusing for non-techy users. I’m a software dev, and I find the federation part annoying and slightly confusing. It seems like every server has a ‘technology’ community, for example. Which one do I follow? I don’t have time to look at each one and see which has the most active and fun discussions. That’s the advantage that Reddit has: for the most part, it’s really easy to discover really active communities.

IDK, I just wish there was a way for Lemmy to feel less segmented, easier to discover actually active and fun communities, and had more users. I won’t leave, but I’m not feeling warm and cozy here so far.

If you’re not writing it all down on paper and then punching holes in cards, you’re doing it all wrong

At least it’s not more low orbit space junk

Bro WTF? The US should get ZERO say regarding the EU, its membership, and its continued existence. If it wasn’t clear enough for the average dumbass American, the right wing movement in the US is beholden to Russian interests. Every time they do something like this, you should be asking yourself, “who does this benefit the most?”

I got the ban for simply writing the names of known DOGE employees. No threats, no discussion about them in the comment. Simply writing their names.
