Not that it is not interesting but I would like just a tad more variety on the front page.

Edit btw for those who are wondering the two communities I started are https://lemmy.world/c/newmusic and https://kbin.social/m/musicfeedback/microblog (not sure if I have the links correct for people)

(page 3) 50 comments

I'm interested in the new music community! I'm terrible at branching out. Thanks for making something I didn't know I wanted.

Already have more posts and comments than my 12 year reddit history. I'm trying my best to adapt and survive.

[-] cfx_4188@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

I'd like to complain about reddit for at least another month, thank you.

Im having the opposite problem - when I sort by top of day I get a really fast scroll I cant keep up with.

Do we already have a list of subreddit replacements on lemmy, kbin etc. somewhere?

[-] SterlingVapor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

No, I think it kind of goes against what we're trying to do here - if a list like that became popular, it would supercharge the growth of certain communities

There's a lot of people pushing for that because it would make the site a straight Reddit replacement, but the promise here is a lot like the original promise of Reddit - give users a single place they can go to access a bunch of small forums

If someone makes a community for that purpose or a community wants to draw in all the Reddit refugees, I have no problem with that, but I think the growth would be healthier if people find them organically rather than putting a centralized list somewhere

Sites will start to pull in a community if any of the members on that instance sub to it and there's talk of adding the ability for communities to band together in multis

Yes, give me a moment and I'll link it

Edit: Here it is, this is an explorer for Lemmy: https://lemmyverse.net/

Yeah I agree, Lemmy needs to be it’s own thing and not just a Reddit hate platform. But so far the experience has been great.

[-] mykl@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If you’ve got any puzzling items around, post them to What is this thing? for us to work on. New content is very welcome!

I'm in support of this. I was explaining to my wife just a bit ago that most of the "content" on lemmy and kbin is all about lemmy and kbin, and very little about anything else. For those of us coming from reddit, most of the content on reddit isn't about reddit. I'd like it if lemmy and kbin was mostly original content.
