Lol at the implication that the term community is indicative of communism.

1. actually that's a reason??
2. I barely see them, but what I did see today was several people saying 'Fuck the CCP' with a ton of upvotes.
3. Have you tried the webapps, wefwef/voyager and .. mymlm or whatever it's called? Those are apparently really good. Remember there was no Reddit app until the community built it, and the apps weren't perfect at the start either, but they did get there. Have fun using the piece of shit official reddit app, since that's your only option now.
4. First legitimate reason. It's a busy instance. Try making an account on a less busy instance. I am connecting through lemmy.nz and I have no problems. It's easy to copy communities over with Lasim.
5. Second legitimate reason. Well, half. If you want better content, why don't you take the initiative and help make Lemmy a better place? This is kind of like 'everyone else isn't doing the work for me.'

It amazes me when people think their opinions are so important they feel they have to announce they're leaving. The insecurity involved must be truly astonishing.

Hi Spez 😆

Yeah I guess Reddit is the right place for you

First of all, Lemmy tell you why the name is great.

" Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities"

You're making the right choice. Reddit is definitely the right place for you.

It's hard to take this seriously if you're talking issue with the word "community".

Lemmy apps are buggy so you are going back to Reddit? I got some news for you buddy...

Just on the "There are so much socialists/communists around, including Lemmy’s founders. Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities."

You really need to learn to tolerate and listen to the views of people you disagree with. Just cutting those voices out entirely and not wanting to hear them really is putting yourself into an echo chamber. You are an individual - don't fall into the trap of thinking you need to belong to a "group" and agree with all the thoughts in that group and disagree with all the thoughts outside that group. It's important that you are open to being challenged and hearing other peoples world views, even if yours is ultimately unchanged. Otherwise you'll just be a sheep thinking how others are directing you to think.

Also, the idea that the word "community" is socialist/communist is the most rediculous thing I've read in a while.

This is the most reddit post it's almost satirical.

Just go outside.

Dear god.

There are so much socialists/communists around, including Lemmy’s founders. Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities.

I call bs on this. This is just regurgitation of 'common knowledge'. The creators of the code had tanky beliefs and that has no bearing on the vast majority of the content.

What I find is there's a lot of privacy hardliners to the point where I'm scared to admit that I like using Chrome as my browser in case I get lynched. But I've joined/lurked on a lot of communities (and how is that a communist word?!?) and not so far seen anything turn into a debate about socialism/communism.

But bye bye.

👋 byyye

One question:

If you do not like it here then why are you here?

Content is decent/ good, certainly it is not as much as Reddit but hey - Lemmy is just getting started. While Reddit has been there for what? 7 years? Longer?

Maybe you can join a social media platform where each subsection is called "The glorious individualist capitalist struggle of ________".

(And Lemmy's original programmers, not those in every signle instance, are totalitarian authoritarians, not communists.)

For "point" 1 (which is quite possibly the single dumbest reason I've ever heard!):

Join kbin instead!

3, 4 and 5 are all legit problems, but the community is working on it, and they'll get better. 1 and 2 are features, not bugs.

@ananesiken "I can't adapt to change so therefore I refuse to, and will publicly announce it as I do so."

K bye, this content isn't helping the lack of good content.

Stay your ass at Reddit then. Problem solved for everyone.

K bye? Like, you do you - not sure what anyone else is going to do with this information. You are right about this place being a glitchy mess, it's fairly new after all. The rest of the points are not particularly good ones.

OP, if you are being sincere, you can give kbin a try. I'm writing this to you from kbin.social. You can subscribe to many different communities in Lemmy and magazines in Kbin and see them all in your kbin Subscribed feed. I have more content than I know what to do with.

If that doesn't work for you, you could also try Squabbles, which has groups instead of communities and seems likable and very general interest.
