Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?
Is anyone else tired of the doom posts on Lemmy?
When scrolling Lemmy (compared to reddit in the past), all I see is doom and gloom / news. I don't see interesting conversations or comments to read.
Occasionally I'll find something, and I've been contributing more, but there's just so much doom that it fills my feed.
I've had to unsubscribe from many communities bc it's just doom news reposts..
Is it just me?
You're viewing a single thread.
The bubble has burst, none of the fun communities I subbed to when I came over have any active users left anymore. It's all the same 3-4 people posting news and rhetoric.
Be the change, become the active user
but that's going to need some effort. The bots and marketing agencies did all the post on reddit. I just wanna scroll and complain. 😭
Activity has actually been picking up lately imo.
Specifically which communities do you think died out?
All of them that are not AI, news, gaming, Linux or technology in general?
I know that Lemmy has a fairly small range of interests, but I don't know of any communities that were once highly active and have since gone dormant.
He said the bubble has burst and there were fun communities when he first came over that are no longer active. I'm asking for an example, because according to my recollection, there never really were active communities outside of the topics you mention.
And there actually are handful of active communities on other topics. !lemmy_stitch@sh.itjust.works comes to mind.
That's not specific (or true) though, there are plenty of active niche communities, especially those for localities. Which communities would you like to be more active?
