- organsnyder 4mo agoI've found the same with Mastadon. It has a pre-eternal-September feel to it.
- al_borland 4mo agoHas it normalized? When I first tried Lemmy it was mostly communists talking about communism. Then after some Reddit drama it seemed to be a bunch of people complaining about Reddit. I generally like smaller sites, but those topics weren’t exactly engaging for me.
- ramgine 4mo agoI’ve been a regular lemmy user for a few years now and it’s gotten better. The communists (and fascist) platforms have been de-federated from the major platforms. It’s still full of Reddit complaining from ex redditors. I don’t think that will change. My login server is lemmy.world, so if you sign up with something else ymmv.
- pocksuppet 4mo agoThat was one of the first instances lemmy.world. You can ignore that one because it's very drama-filled. Other Lemmy servers are more chill.
- karmakurtisaani 4mo agoI got banned from some community for pointing out how shitty Soviet Union was in WW2, but learned to avoid that instance from that. It's a "federation", so you get all kinds. There's discussion on all topics these days.
- Forgeties79 4mo agoEvery instance is its own thing. You probably need to filter out hexbear/lemmygrad
- AuthAuth 4mo agoThe commies are a smaller voice these days and can be easily filtered out.
- BeetleB 4mo agoAny communities (subreddit equivalents) you would recommend?
- karmakurtisaani 4mo agoI mainly visit my country's community, news and browse comics/memes. More niche topics could be more active, I admit.
