Oh, yeah, I get it! It was just a very /m/UnfortunatePlacement moment xD
Don’t like the content? Make your own! :)
I’m liking the fediverse so far. I was mainly a lurker on Reddit for 9 years and only recently started conversing on it a few months ago myself.
Kbin.social did seem pretty “dead” when I joined earlier this week, but once federation was turned back on content has been pretty good. The only thing I need to find out is how to not see posts to magazines I don’t follow in my main feed. I’m getting quite a few German language posts that I can’t read, so filtering those out would cut down on the noise.
If you click on the post, it’ll take you to the magazine in question. You can then block it (the button is next to the subscribe button).
The curse of being an early adopter.
the duality of man
The people who joined lemmy.world/one/whatever did it because they saw light and people. They are mostly spectators, not content creators.
The people who joined kbin saw an opportunity to restart from scratch, they are creators.
My experience so far is that the majority of the content on here is regarding reddit/subreddits/reddit activity.
If this is the type of content that continues to get posted/traction, then this place will collapsekeep in mind that there’s already lots of content coming in from Lemmy, and kbin can be another way to access that content in a manner some people prefer. the biggest advice for everyone is to be the change you want to see. we can’t just be lurking consumers if we want to be here, we have to start commenting and posting all we can
I love the downvote on the boring post.
Honestly, we really do need more content that isn’t just focused on what reddit admins are doing. Mind you, I do get it. I want to know how reddit is doing, myself. But the number of posts about reddit is just too high. There’s a ton of duplicate posts across numerous communities, which makes the reddit drama take up a disproportionate amount of space on the feed.
I’ve largely stopped upvoting anything that isn’t novel and especially only upvoting whichever post already has the most votes (ie, no dupes).
Using lemmy, I feel the same. It’s the same posts staying far too long on whats “hot”. For some reason kbin does it better. It something in their way of grading content.
Try sorting by New on Lemmy. It’s much more tame Reddit’s New. I find it good for my default sort.
Yeah I agree, however this is a problem that can be and will be solved.
That makes more sense to me now, I’ve been using Kbin and I wasn’t sure what this post was talking about. It feels like the posts are switching out from hot at a good rate here, always something new on the front page.
This reminds me of the first time I saw Reddit (a bit before the Digg migration.) It was similarly slow and boring (compared to Digg.) But that changed quicly after Digg collapsed. The same will probably happen here as Reddit becomes more hostile to its user base.
(I plan to enjoy the quiet weirdness of these new spaces while I can.)
That’s the taste of bleeding edge.
Vulcan likes his bleeding edge platform.
I think it’s the way the algorithm works on Lemmy. I was on Lemmy.ml for a bit initially (until I found the tankies…) and yeah the front page didn’t change much at all even federating with other Lemmys. But I don’t think it was from lack of content. When I switched to Kbin the posts would cycle much more frequently and since Kbin enabled federation it’s really felt like there’s enough here to replace my Reddit scrolling addiction.
Ah, the classic “sort by controversial.”
