Lemmy is a really great piece of software and i’m happy to use it but i have to say the quality of the content is really low and the way the platform is structured isn’t helping. The frontpage is filled with memes and news from third parties and most discussions are happening below stupid headlines. If i were to document a live event i have no idea were i should post.
Lemmy has always suffered from 2 major problems.
There is no diversity to the content. The vast majority of posts across all instances are either politics, memes, or tech… and even these are narrowed to very specific views and takes.
There isn’t enough volume. The amount of users, posts, comments, and active communities is very low. There isn’t enough content for someone to curate their feed to their liking.
This place isn’t Reddit, but it pretends that it is. It’s simply an inferior platform that is built on a better idea. The people telling to you to curate your feed are full of it. A lot of users on this site, myself included, have to go to All to see enough activity to make this site usable.
You’re opinion is 100% correct, but it is unpopular on here so have an upvote
