I support it because I want more people to talk about shows with

Okay so how is there no nerdy subs for stuff like this?

There isn’t that few of us, I think we just keep getting drowned in politics.

There’s a Doctor Who community, but it’s not very active

Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works · 24 days ago

Yeah… the only thing that gives me hope is the Simpsons shit posting sub, it’s just a little less active than the Reddit equivalent. I guess being a Simpson fan made you more likely to migrate.

I havent really kept tabs on how the “everything” feed works. Does it show posts from small communities here and there? Or is it the most upvoted stuff over the instance?

Some engagement algorithms to showcase popular posts from smaller communities seems like a good way to get people to branch from politics abd linux a little bit.

Edit: scaled view is really what im describing and already exists

If you want to see posts from small communities (balanced with the larger ones) then select “Scaled” instead of “Hot” or “Active”.

If you’re sick of politics and tech then subscribe to communities you like and sort by “Subscribed” instead of “Local” or “All”. Look here for relevant communities:

These are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked)

ART / PHOTOS

COMICS / GRAPHIC NOVELS

ENTERTAINMENT

GENRES / STYLES

click here for a list of meme communities

MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR (NON-POLITICAL)

Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes politics sneaks in but that’s not the focus.

Personally, I think the big thing is that we need a tool to see who is defederated from who. We don’t want some poor sod somehow thinking that since they are leftist that Hexbear or Lemmygrad would be a good place for them.

My comments in other threads are not intended to be isolationist, and when I reas others I fear you misconstrue many.

We are not saying “let them stay on Reddit and other corporate media”. We are saying “teach them, preach the benefit, and when they want to come, and are ready to come, they will.”

That is how you nurture a growing community, vs “make line go up.”

In my opinion, everyone who is like “we only want more people who understand the fediverse” are stupid.

How are people supposed to learn and understand the fediverse if they don’t try it?

The more people we get off of corporate bullshit, the better.

Do not question my ability to England.

My England is very good quality.

What I’ve seen many times is people stating the opinion that we don’t need to grow. We’re not some big commercial platform and we don’t need to satisfy some investors. Growth will come naturally. Or it won’t.

My opinion is, judging by the numbers… We aren’t growing for quite some time now, so Lemmy will most likely stay what it is. I’d love if it were a super attractive place, though. And everybody would like to join.

Sane defaults are always a good idea. I’m a bit split on the “minimal effort” though. Minimal effort is letting some algorithms dictate what to consume, simple truths, and not bothering with complicated stuff like freedom or privacy.

And what I often see is people trying to solve such problems solely by technical means. And I think that’s not even half of it. We mainly need a nice and welcoming atmosphere, nice and interesting people, good content…

I think we were growing and then the election cycle happened.

Kind of wish lemmy happened a decade earlier before all the constant rage.

Karmmah@lemmy.world · 24 days ago

A decade ago I don’t think the circumstances would have allowed lemmy to exist because reddit was still in its growing phase and it was not as commonly known and appreciated as it is today.

It would have been cool to develop lemmy like that but I think now is the right time for people to realise why lemmy should exist.

Optional@lemmy.world · 24 days ago

Who’s “we”? I don’t run a lemmy instance. I’m not against new users. I’m also not opposed to a lot of hard work and money going into making the experience better, but since I’m not providing either - who’s “we”?

SamboT@lemmy.world · 24 days ago

Lemmy.world users, and maybe other instances.

Its not about demanding new features from people who volunteer their time and money, its about the community being understood and maybe having some consesus about what we’d like to see because i do imagine the people who manage this instance care about what users want.

And its nice to talk about these things directly instead of having people speaking for the instance in a hundred conflicting ways in random posts.

gedaliyah@lemmy.world · 24 days ago

Broader adoption of lemmy ensures more longevity, and likely better, more diverse development. Ignore the haters. Everyone was new here at some point and the last thing we should do is pull up the ladder behind us.

Change is good. Change is life. People who oppose change for its own sake are in favor of stagnation.

IndustryStandard@lemmy.world · 22 days ago

We should make one fully centralized mega instance and contain all the Redditors over there.
