I gotta say, I respect what Lemmy does and hope it succeeds, and I think it's a good place for discussions and such (and I will remain), but good god if this place isn't unfunny as hell. I'm struggling real hard to find some place with actually funny content on here, which leads to me getting exceedingly riled up by politics.

It's better than it was a year ago so hopefully with more ex-Redditors it'll diversify even more

Lets make this a new reddit but better!

What constitutes an active user? Is a new lurker like myself counted or is there a threshold of minimum action needed to be counted?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 34 minutes ago

Upvotes or comments count.

One of my largest pain points with Lemmy is that there are multiple active communities for the same topic, causing quite a few duplicate posts to show up in my feed that is difficult to filter. Hopefully there comes some kind of solution, outside of userbase, this is (what I believe) one of the larger issues compared to Reddit.

However, I still switched over to Lemmy for my primary 'Reddit'-needs.

Piefed is a Lemmy "competitor" that actually does some sort of "multi comm" combined view type of functionality

Piefed.social

It's not mature yet, but last I heard interoperability was mostly ok, though had oddities

It helps to see communities as categories for an instance, each instance will have a different response to the same post based on the general instance vibe and culture. That's also why picking a good instance to browse locally can be pretty useful.

Yesterday was the first day that Lemmy activity tipped over the threshold, and there were too many overnight posts for me to read all of them over breakfast.

End of an era 🥲

Although usually the tide rolls back down for a while with one of these Septembers, as some newbies just don't click with their instance for whatever reasons. Still, it seems inevitable that it will tip over that threshold, and stay there, one day.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I had to switch instances 3 times before I found one I was okay with.

That's about how it went for me. This is pretty much my home instance, but I also keep an account on a more local lemmy for chatting with the townies.

Also experimenting with my own instance. Still workin out the kinks.
