    The big difference is 1. Finding communities is not easy. Can you name every one of your interests off the top of your head? 2. Just punching in communities from reddit 1 for 1 doesn't work. 3. Content and user base. There are no discussions for my favorite podcasts here and if there are where do I find them.

    It took me a decade to build out a decent sub list on Reddit and I still stumble upon new interests now and again. I don't know how to "stumble upon" decent communities on Lemmy and I'm sick of wading through cartoon horse cocks.

    I'm an example of a filthy casual reddit user who is really struggling to find value in lemmy. Finding an instance where local is of value is difficult, world may as well be "everything", and "everything" is a nightmarish hodgepodge of memes for teenagers, furry porn, really niche technical discussions, and star Trek memes. I never stay in the app longer than a few minutes and I feel like I spend more time blocking weird porn communities than I do reading interesting articles.

    The other major issue is having to sort through the exact same article 60 times because people cross post not only to local communities but then also the same communities are duplicated on every instance. I'm probably going to abandon this soon unless I can find some kind of curated community list to subscribe to or something.

    The issues are way overblown. I have a mid tier system as best (2070S 8700k) and with the DLSS mod and some performance tweaks I play on Ultra.

    Edit: down vote all you want losers you're still wrong.

    Yes. Lemmy still sucks and everybody who isn't in niche communities knows it. Lemmy is the same article spammed across 100 communities cross posted again across 100 instances, memes for teenagers, and Star Trek memes apparently.

    Every study that ever comes out shows that memory is REMARKABLY fallible.

    No matter how convinced you are that you remember those conversations perfectly, I encourage you to explore the idea that.... maybe you don't.

    It took a decade to get a decent sub list for me on reddit. Trying to duplicate it on Lemmy doesn't work because communities are either tiny, duplicates (or moderates poorly so they may as well be duplicates, ie "news" "politics" and "us news" are just the same thing spamming the same articles), or non existent. I'd like a good sub list but it's a sort of 'where so I even start".

  • How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a "prevent duplicates" option in any of the clients? I'm pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There's very little content that isn't "memes for teenagers" or "the same news you saw yesterday".
