I’ve been pretty happy with the content actually, what do you think is missing?

Honestly, I'm fine with Lemmy staying small for a good bit.

For me, Reddit and now Lemmy are time wasters. I come here to laugh at the memes, catch some news, and maybe see some bobs.

Sometimes news articles don't have any comments, so I'll just read the article and maybe add a comment, or just upvote and move on. Some more news content would be nice, and hopefully the local provincial/state and even city groups get some traction soon so I can leave reddit entirely instead of lurking local subreddits without signing in.

I am more than happy for reddit to become a lightning rod for bots and shills now that I have a basic understanding of this platform

I'd rather read a handful of genuine comments, discussion, and opinion/insights from real people on Lemmy than hundreds of divisive comments, bad faith arguments, bots, and irrelevant forum sliding jokes/tangential rants that have polluted reddit.

Did you have a look at Reddit lately? The content quality is shit. Personally I find much more interesting stuff on Lemmy atm.

I agree, there needs to be a plan for content. But I disagree on the means.

I disagree with reposting Reddit. If content isn't unique, people will just go to Reddit. Repeating memes is one thing (it's fun and nostalgic), but wholesale content duplication will just lead to drowning the signal to noise ratio.

We could autopopulate some content. That only works if the comment traffic is there too, or it's just shouting into the void. For example: it doesn't help to have a bot posting Reuters articles automatically to c/news if no one is interacting.

I plan to make a utility for myself to help with my own content. I really want to see c/printSF take off, for example, so I'm going to do my best there. But I can't do it for every community I want to see haha :)

I am here for the comments, not articles.

I don't care about articles since it is usually just one person's opinion. I want discussion with other people, where ideas can be challenged and tested.

Adding links will not help that.

For me, personally, it is good enough right now. I do open reddit sometimes for smaller communities not active here, but if we keep it at this traffic, I will be satisfied.

How bout we not recreate the shit hole that is reddit. I can not express the relief I felt when I got out. You can't make me go back!

Let's focus on growing the niche communities we have instead copying other sites.

Sort by top 6 hour and in settings hide read, and mark seen as read. Also try a third party app like Connect. That should help your All.

There's definitely going to be more reddit exoduses. Over the last 10 years, there were several moments where this could've happened but there weren't any viable options (except Voat, but that went to the Nazis 👎). Now that there's Lemmy, Squabbles, Tildes, etc..., I think people's appetite for putting up with reddit's bullshit is a lot less. I think the next big one will be when reddit introduces the new "awards" system in a couple of months.

It's a lot better than the Threads graph haha

Just joined and looking forward to it!

Oops, I accidentally dropped that bottle of lubricant. Would you mind picking that up for me?

Top post is just lemmy.ca. I posted the all instances version in another comment and they look the same, more or less, just scaled up.

Just do it every day if you really want to still be active on Reddit.

I think something to consider is that we are just over a month out from the Reddit blackout where you would expect to see a significant drop from those who checked things out for a couple days while Reddit was down, then left. I'd be curious to see what the stats look like a week from now.
