It used to be that way on Reddit before they changed the algorithm to force old posts (older than 12 hours and then 24 hours and so on) to fuck off from the front page. It's also a problem that multiple instances show you the same post repeatedly, so a popular post on the front page stays there for a whole week and you will still see it even if you scroll past it.

Lemmy devs simply do not address the issues of the platform.

Math-wise, it won't take long until they are tied to the track with us and everyone else.

Holy shit this comment fucking killed me. It's so funny.

I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can't flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built

It's less about weeb shit and more about the sounds of the words. They abbreviate it as Ligma (balls hehe got'em!)

That's devastatingly hot.

Meth is a product that was found, and then developed and improved in order to be better at what it does. The expertise demonstrated in the creation of Meth shouldn't be compared to Facebook, which is just the first product to come out of a market. Facebook hasn't developed further as a social media platform, it has developed further as a money making device.

You could say Alcohol is the Facebook of drugs. Drugs have developed over a very long time unlike social media, so the history is much greater for this case, but the point is that alcohol, despite not being the best in all categories, is the most popular drug simply because it's not as harmful as others (such as meth) and has been around for longer than the new, less risky alternatives (such as weed). I'm not considering coffee as a drug for this metaphor. Alcohol is making the most money not because it is good, but because the rest is mostly illegal, and/or less ingrained in social norms and traditions.

Point is, I kind of lost myself along the way and started rambling, comparing Facebook to Meth is not fair because Meth is not socially accepted while Facebook is, maybe compare Reddit to Meth, idk

Couldn't find it within 5 minutes of searching - therefor I accounce that such a video does not exist

For everything except the memes I agree. The memes are clearly not generated by 30+ year olds though, and there are a lot of memes. (all of those 196 communities)

Basically the title. I sort of expect us to, but I prefer to know ahead of time.

Edit: It sort of relates to the email you've sent us a few days ago. I read it and thought that I basically joined a Lemmy instance to avoid the major corpos trying to squeeze our blood out, like the Reddit admins ended up doing. Meta/Facebook have been known for having unhinged greed, and I expect them to try to take over or crash the fediverse in favor of advertisements.

The problem is that while subscribed you see the popular posts twice. All of them. Sometimes even literally one after the other in the feed lol

Right now we just choose between seeing almost everything twice (sub to both) or missing a little (sub to only one).

From a different end-user POV, seeing the same stuff repeated is not fun. I would prefer to see everything once instead of choosing between seeing almost everything twice(subscribed to both) or missing a little bit(subscribed to one, blocked the other).
