    The only worth it really had were the niche communities. Some of which became meme centric over time and went down the shitter.

    I jumped over here on lemmy and till today im still confused on the instances, federation and defederation thing. It seems a lot of the niche communities I used to partake in do have multiple equivalent instances, but none of them are active. I actually feel lost over here if I’m being perfectly honest…

      That is exactly my thought. I don’t think Lemmy is better. I want there to be something that makes this place feel like a true future platform but really it just feels like a bunch of people making websites that share comment sections and almost all of them being shitty or dead.

        For now I think if we all try to keep an engagement quota soon enough the snowball will start pushing itself

          I mean right? What’s cool if not what enough people are doing?

          But I do still think this whole concept needs to get easier. Honestly integration with mastodon to make it simple to use both with 1 account would probably do it.

            And indexing is gonna be a big hurdle. Reddits search was pretty abismal but there have been posts here I was telling people about and since I didn’t upvote them or comment they just are basically gone forever.

      Yep I also miss some of the reddits, eg icecreamery, and fitness. Weird thing is, fitness reddit is super popular and there’s nothing active here as far as I can tell.
