Anything that would consolidate the posts and threads would be a step in the right direction.

It took a decade to get a decent sub list for me on reddit. Trying to duplicate it on Lemmy doesn't work because communities are either tiny, duplicates (or moderates poorly so they may as well be duplicates, ie "news" "politics" and "us news" are just the same thing spamming the same articles), or non existent. I'd like a good sub list but it's a sort of 'where so I even start".

I'm an example of a filthy casual reddit user who is really struggling to find value in lemmy. Finding an instance where local is of value is difficult, world may as well be "everything", and "everything" is a nightmarish hodgepodge of memes for teenagers, furry porn, really niche technical discussions, and star Trek memes. I never stay in the app longer than a few minutes and I feel like I spend more time blocking weird porn communities than I do reading interesting articles.

The other major issue is having to sort through the exact same article 60 times because people cross post not only to local communities but then also the same communities are duplicated on every instance. I'm probably going to abandon this soon unless I can find some kind of curated community list to subscribe to or something.

I would if lemmy was even close to an actual replacement.

I'm confused. Who in Barbie is gay? Kens whole thing is he's utterly obsessed with her...

The big difference is 1. Finding communities is not easy. Can you name every one of your interests off the top of your head? 2. Just punching in communities from reddit 1 for 1 doesn't work. 3. Content and user base. There are no discussions for my favorite podcasts here and if there are where do I find them.

It took me a decade to build out a decent sub list on Reddit and I still stumble upon new interests now and again. I don't know how to "stumble upon" decent communities on Lemmy and I'm sick of wading through cartoon horse cocks.

What do you mean?

I mean, yea, there isn't nearly as much interesting content. And with the way the "Everything" sort works you end up seeing the same thing 100 times across the 100 different similar subreddits each instance has. Honestly lemmy kind of sucks as a reddit replacement. Trying to find the next option.

I usually browse "top (6 hour)" and if there is breaking news it's the first several pages it's awful.

I'm told it was a woman.

Here at tolerance camp, intolerance will not be tolerated.

Do you copy and paste comments from reddit? I read this exact comment last night I am SURE of it

Ok Chris

I've been using Sync and am planning on trying Lift off.

It didn't, there's obviously something else going on here

He's a grifter. He doesn't believe anything he's saying, he's just like the guy he's pledging allegiance to. He'll collect in some way, whether it is in royalties from views, speaking engagements, or whatever. He's playing a character.

It doesn't excuse him or his bullshit. But guaranteed this is a grift on the manipulated masses.

They're already using it as a house.

I have a finished basement. I could fit a bed down here. Am I somehow obligated to let somebody live here? You sound like a teenager.

Appreciate the leads here!

Every study that ever comes out shows that memory is REMARKABLY fallible.

No matter how convinced you are that you remember those conversations perfectly, I encourage you to explore the idea that.... maybe you don't.

Sure I just don't know how to find communities, I was hoping browsing everything would reveal them to me but "everything top (6hrs)" is very limited in scope.
