I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

My participation has dropped a lot compared to when I only just joined. There is only so much us centric doomer content I can stomach, and Lemmy is so extremely political that it is impossible to just browse cat memes and have a good time. So I spend less time here I suppose.

I almost never see political content or cat memes. I think your experience comes down to your subscription list.

I just block those that post that stuff. Lemmy is small enough that that works to a sufficient degree 👍 it’s a small group of prolific posters

Sounds like you don’t understand how to curate the content lemmy has to offer. I understand the hesitation, there just isn’t as much content here as there is on reddit.

But if you don’t want to see most of whats here, just don’t visit 4 times a day like people do with reddit. The content turn over is slower, so adjust your usage accordingly.

It’s so much better! Filter, report, stand up, and block. I’m so done with people being unnecessarily rude and I immediately stop contact with them here. If it’s me I try to apologize. All that garbage should stay on reddit
