Fewer posts about beans?
Yeah, but a noticable increase in inappropriate jean applications!
I have just the video to fix that, - Dosh Doshington
Content diversity seems like it slowed down. Back when the Reddit exodus happened about of niche communities were created. A lot of them have been abandoned now.
Lemony is still good as it’s tech and privacy centric (which I love). But the excess of US related news, furry stuff, commie/cappie arguments are everywhere. You can always block communities and instances but it gets tiring after some time.
A lot of them have been abandoned now.
Indeed, we should definitely consolidate
Consolidation is another thing. There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.
Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Sometimes they are identical and should merge, sometimes due to the specific audience of the instance, it’s better to keep them separate.
I wouldn’t suggest merging !movies@lemmy.world and !movies@hexbear.net

Mbin does support multireddits, but this doesn’t seem to be interesting enough for people to switch to it (while Lemmy communities are fully accessible from Mbin)
Yeah, frankly the fact that they’re separate is sort of the point, if .ml and .world both have X, and you get banned from one (or hate one’s mods, or rules, or defeds, or…), you can still use the other. I like it this way personally.
If you want to see an example of how the federation fails smaller communities look no further than almost every comment section in c/vegan is full of people who are vocally and vehemently against it. There’s just nothing to stop dominant culture from flushing out the others.
The algorithm is great for serendipity but absolutely useless at protecting the more niche subjects from the most annoying comments.
Influx of libs. It’s a sign of success for the platform, but holy fuck lemmy.world posters are annoying
Hmm… Today I learned that lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy instance.
It’s usually the first listed in any guide on how to start using Lemmy, so it tends to get a lot of new-to-the-fediverse users. It’s presumably where I would have ended up, if there wasn’t a country-specific instance for me
Honestly, the constant tankies, US politics of “both sides are the same” or “voting doesn’t matter” are far more annoying. The infestation of completely insane political views trying to pass as legitimate options just shows how bad it is, especially from the .ml instance.
Seems things have shaken out (for now) regarding defederation, including less chatter about Threads than there was. I don’t anticipate much change on that until the next big influx of users, whether it’s people coming in directly through Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin or a new player joining the Fediverse.
Other than that, I’ve just seen steady growth in my communities.
I’m getting banned less since moving to Beehaw?
So for me it’s personal growth.
I would assume it’s because you’re now blind to the communities that enjoy banning people. Beehaw was pretty clear that they want to keep things nice.
Exactly, and most of the the negativity is gone, a lot less anger-bait to browse through, and waaaay fewer extremists & shills.
Basically what my mental health needed.
Seems about the same?
Redditors have been showing up, and lemmy mods are behaving more and more like the very thing redditors wanted to leave reddit for.
People with unchecked power being unreasonable! I’m shocked! Shocked!
Well feddit.de is down for quite a while now.
Only the front-end of feddit.de has serious problems, right ? Why would the maintainers not run another front-end (e.g. Elk) on the same server and redirect their broken front-end link to that as work-around for web users ?
There’s concerted efforts by actual nazis to shit this place up because they see it as a genuine threat.
Lots of support for a genocide, thought this place was better than Reddit.
I don’t have an account long enough but browsed through the different instances enough and I’ve never seen anything about genocide.
More like lots of having to refute dumb arguments that imply choosing harm reduction is the same thing as endorsing harm.
“harm reduction” in the context of genocide is absolutely wild. It’s a genocide, not a heroin habit
I want no genocide. My choices are: vote for a candidate that would make the genocide worse, while complaining they’re supporting a genocide, or vote for a candidate that would more or less do nothing about it, while complaining they’re ineffectual at stopping the genocide.
How can you not see one of those two options is better?
Biden isnt “doing nothing”, he’s actively making it worse. He is directly complicit. How do you not see this?
Okay, does that actually change the choice you make? You only have two practical options when it comes to voting. I said do nothing because the government’s policy on Israel effectively hasn’t changed now that they’ve started a genocide (or rather, really ramped up their genocide). In that sense, he’s doing nothing. But again, does that change the choice you make in order to end up with the world closest to what you want?
Found the genocide supporter
War, war never changesNot much, save for them limiting images again.
