Haven't gone back to Reddit since. But what I do miss most is the sorting algorithm. I don't know if it was just the abundance of posts, or better sorting. But on lemmy I keep seeing the same posts over and over again, regardless of my sorting setting. But I'll be patient and hope that it gets better.
I've been using relay for the past month or so since it's still up, and honestly a lot of content on Reddit feels like bot posting now. The communities seem to have gotten nastier as well, with incel type posts and hateful propaganda being the main themes I'm seeing there. I hope Lemmy can become a last bastion of content for me, but maybe I should just touch grass lol
I am of the opinion the algorithm is fine, these are just the dominant posts both in subject and engagement. And this is the problem. The place just isn't big or diverse enough.
