I use a few social media platforms at the same time. I'm used to seeing the same things on each platform. That's how the internet has been for years - you read the same things on the same five sites.

To be fully transparent, Lemmy isn't at the top. I don't post much and I lurk. Sometimes I post a comment here and there.

But this past week, I'm seeing more and more interesting content in the "Everything" section of Lemmy that I didn't see in my other social media feeds. New communities and more interesting convos.

Uncertain if the fediverse has gotten a wave of new posters, some algorithm has changed, or every other social media company is sucking more and more thanks to America Team Police...

Just wanted to share my extremely limited anecdotal non-fact checked viewpoint.

I’m someone who just re-joined after trying out lemmy & kbin a couple years ago then dropping off after a few months. I can say the experience now is a lot better. There’s so much more content and activity.

I still use Reddit for more niche topics but I don’t miss it nearly as much as expected to.

NGL, I got permabaned there in October.. just 2 weeks shy of 15 years.. Found old.lemmy.zip, fell in and fell in love.

Haven't missed Reddit at all.

Posts where you want answers/help get more useful engagement here and show up on all unlike reddit where your posts/comments get buried outside of niche communities

I keep catching reddit bans for calling Trump a pedophile lol. Really tells you where their moderation is at these days.
