Just Post

I came over when reddit said no more third party apps. I've been faithful to lemmy for nearly two years since.

I've experienced the same feeling. There can be hundreds/thousands of posts and yet no discussions. I pass by many interesting topics because there's zero comments and it was posted to 10 different communities/instances. I know that's how federated content works, but this method discourages interaction.

Then there's communities like hacker news that doesn't even post the content on lemmy, just the title and a link. I've ended up blocking them because I don't want sign up on another site, I like my cozy app.

There's a lot of niche communities from reddit here that people attempted to make but they ended up not taking off and are now wastelands.

I miss old reddit, but I'll never be going back to what it's become.
