In another thread, I read a user’s comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page.
Is this your experience? How was lemmy when you joined and how do you think it’s changed?
Didn’t say it was a bug, it’s just not an ideal aspect of the platform, and it could be a deterrent for some users.
The exact same thing happened on Reddit though.
Apples, Apple, TrueApples, HonestApples, AppleFruit. Things like that happened all the time
I think it’s probably the #1 hardest thing to adjust to for new people joining Lemmy. That said, I also think it’s a good thing to not have all of our eggs in one basket. Like, if we have 4 communities about classic cars, and one starts making weird moderation decisions, users don’t have to leave Lemmy altogether.
Great point
I keep hearing this, but when is that ever a good thing in real life? Would you rather have one classic car show that you can go to with everyone and every car or have to go to four different ones at four different times with a lot less going on? If anything there should be merged instances where it’s all the same posts and comments. As it is now, no one can keep track of a particular instances rules if we go in and out of them seamlessly as it is.
