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.

Not sure about divergence, but there are definitely a lot more interesting posts now. I've tried fediverse (kbin) when the reddit API shit happened. I'm a gamer and there weren't many interesting gaming posts at the time so I returned back to Reddit like a week later. This time with the Discord bullshit I gave fediverse another try and it's so much better now. It's still not as many compared to Reddit but at least there are actual content I enjoy scrolling.
