I mean I’m new here and i can’t see a lot of stuff like on reddit
The amount of content on here is less plentiful, so browsing all and blocking the communities you don’t like has been how I curated my feed. If a community doesn’t exist you can always make one (easier said than done I know).
you gotta subscribe to a LOT of communities to get a somewhat active feed
I just browse all communities, and block the ones I don’t want to see.
I do reverse subscription: I browse by “new” and block what I don’t want. Best of both worlds.
On many instances too. You’ll have to get to know what they’re niches and userbase is like
There is piefed. I am even using it to see your post and write this comment
Its not something that helps with your problem since the 2 platforms share the same feed
Lemmy is really the best alternative ive found, it reminds me of reddit when it was new.
Yeah, Piefed.
*Pylova because PieFed is
shitThanks for helping promote it
democracy and taxes
Liberal democracy is a vile anti-democratic institution (and I don’t necessarily even think that direct democracy is the best or only method of horizontal, anti-authoritarian decision making without extra information; i.e. upholding democracy as the be-all end-all of “all power to all the people” is itself a lack of imagination). Almost every imperialist power today is a liberal-democratic state. Liberal democracy is a resounding success at what it is designed to do, which is oppress the proletariat and entrench capitalist hegemony while giving the superficial appearance of proletarian representation to gullible liberals.
And no actually, proletarians should not be paying a single goddamn fucking penny to capitalists or their demonic governments as long as they use our money to destroy us, doom our ecology, and just barely maintain the social services or infrastructure statists claim that these institutions are supposed to provide, which incidentally, half the bourgeoisie doesn’t even want their governments to even give the workers enough crumbs off the table to buy proletarians’ compliance!
Something you Tankies fail to realize is that your rabid and biggoted craziness actually pushes people further towards liberalism.
It’s hilarious watching Autocratists and Authoritarianists lecture others about living in subservience.
And when have I ever supported authoritarian projects or autocracy? You just don’t like being called out as the liberal you are.

You couldn’t pay me to use that fucking Lemmy framework, so not all of us.

Exposing OP to the fediverse infighting right off the bat is a solid move I support, honestly.
If my actions prevent people from participating in Chinese and Russian psyops then all the better.
so that means here is only stuff that can’t be on reddit?
Not exclusively, but there is more of it. Most reddits are represented here as well, but they may not be as active as reddit, because its much smaller. If something is missing, its up to you to create it, no one will do it for you :/
Most reddits are represented here as well
I would argue that is not true. There are a lot of parallel communities, sure, but I would assume that majority of communities on Reddit are pretty niche communities that are not represented here at all.
right, i did notice that there’s really nothing at all. All I can see are some old posts and nothing more :(
As others have said, you’ve messed up your language settings or something. Perhaps sort by new?
Logout and have a look at:
https://lemmy.world/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=New
You should see a lot more activity.
you probably need to change your sorting
set it to Hot and usually it will give you new stuff. Make sure to find some communities if you set it to subscribed

Reddit had many years of growth. Lemmy is more like what Reddit started as.
It’s one of the better Reddit alternatives.
That’s an important thing to remember: Reddit was an empty web site when Digg started to piss its users off. I don’t post a lot, but I sure do have fun commenting on random threads.
Probably you can not see much including my other post, as a result of no chosen language(s) in your settings. Look at this hint and not just for local communities (the ones created on https://lemmy.world/), there are plenty on other servers.
What are you into?
The fediverse isn’t as addictive or algorithmic as legacy corporate social media, but I follow stuff that I’m interest and see new things everyday.
I mean I’m new here
You have already become part of the solution!
If there were something more active than the fediverse (lemmy, piefed, mbin) you would have heard of it already.
No. you have to create the stuff you want to see here.
SACRILEDGE
This is the best Reddit alternative. But we all hate Reddit here. Nothing is going to have as much content as Reddit, but it’s also a shithole run by shitheads, sooooooo…welcome to Lemmy.
As nobody else mentioned it there is https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search for communities across instances.
I’m aware how finicky it sometimes is to subscribe to new communities on other instances. The fediverse (Lemmy+PieFed+Mastodon+everything else) has some technical quirks but for me its a small price to pay for an unbuyable platform.
The obvious problem is that niche comms are not active. I feel like this comes from people expecting or even emulating the same experience as on reddit. But before we even create new niche comms. We should use the more broader ones even if the more broader one is casualconversation or something generic like that. Even some half dead forums feel alive cause they have like only 4 different places to post. And is also how reddit started but people are forcing it to be like it is right now.
And to answer your question no not that I’m aware of :)
There is https://lobste.rs/ which seems to be working well mostly because its invite only. Truth be told Lemmy will eventually also have to close registration and have an forced application form. If we want to keep it as human as it is right now. Don’t think there is any other way of dealing with bots that are eventually going to hit us.
There is also https://tildes.net/ which is less active but more moderated. They also have only broader comms because its more opinionated.
But they all do not federate which is in my eyes a deal breaker. The mods are probably alright but having the option to move instance while keeping most connections and communities only changing the server owners that control what you see is a game changer for me. It even made me post way more than I ever did on reddit because I feel like its more sustainable. You feel like you are part of the network more than on any other platform, because nobody really owns anything. That is what makes this place so special :)
@vogi @Galaxynowy lemmy is too ideological which make federation a drawback not an advantage.
You writing from Mastodon where I definitively agree that federation is more apparent. I stopped using it myself because of that. But on the “threadiverse” I feel like its different as everything is naturally a bit more centralized through the existence of communities. which makes the switch from Reddit to Lemmy not as jarring as Twitter to Mastodon.
EDIT: oh just realized i completely ignored your point… I do not really see it though to be honest. Sure if you are on .ml it will be ideological, but thanks to federation I do not have to.
@vogi other instance are also ideological like world is generally screwed toward liberal centrist
But… So is Reddit. Here the importance isn’t really the ideology of the instance, but that of the community. If an instance’s ideology clashes with a community in the instance, the community can migrate. If you don’t vibe with the ideology of the community, you can pick others.
In Reddit you’d have liberal centrist subreddits, more conservative, more socialist, more communist and so on, here those communities are divided in instances, but most instances share with basically all the others so for an user it doesn’t really matter.
@fushuan we where supposed to solve what reddit did bad, “and so is REDDIT” is a terrible argument and again instance can defederated from each other what if the instance you migrate to also get defederated or defederate from another that have communities you are interested in?
Um. That communities have ideologies is something shared by everything, and not something that Reddit did bad. It’s not something to be fixed, it’s life.
If instances get defederated from each other feel free to join one that won’t do that. Idk.
There’s a reason some instances are defederated with each other, mainly that admins were fed up with managing spam.
@fushuan how are you sure they won’t do it?
Yes, but Lemmy hasn’t blocked me yet because of some weird comment. Reddit did it again yesterday. I know I should delete my Reddit account but…
