    I would like to fully move over, but unfortunately most of my hobbies and things I’m into just don’t have a large enough audience to have an active designated group for.

    There’s a Dead by Daylight one on here, but the last post was like a few months ago, and then after that almost a year. I’m also super into modded minecraft, but all those ones are botted reddit repost rippers. I haven’t looked yet, but I heavily doubt Hypixel SkyBlock is gonna show up.

    Unfortunately, my lust to see idiots make a fool of themselves in public spaces is too strong to keep me away from reddit, and therefore, I become the fool.

      I feel that. And I mean, sure, those communities don’t exist… yet… But maybe someone could create them and see who shows up. ;)

    Like, 30 minutes in. So far the front page is a breath of fresh air. Reddit is unusable as of a few months ago. Just trash on top of trash.

      Reddit has been shit for like 5+ years at that larger levels, but some small niche hobby and similar subs are still decent.

    After a while, you realize this place is not perfect either. Too much Linux (although I’m on Linux now), too much “voter suppression” messages from the left (which I’m no longer), tankies or whatever, I could swear I’ve seen several anti-Japanese/racist posts and the same crypto drivel you’d find on reddit.

      Nothing says community like splintering the already tiny community into 90 smaller distros sub-communities

      Care to explain what piefed is and how it differs from lemmy? I thought it was just one of the instances in lemmyverse

        PieFed is an alternative platform in the same social media category of Lemmy, “Forum and link aggregator”.

        It’s younger, but is being rapidly developed, esp considering it’s written in mostly python instead of Rust.

        Biggest benefit though, is it doesn’t come with toxic political ideologies attached like Lemmy does (https://lemmy.world/post/29072279)

        Also why we’re moving to more generic terms like “Threadiverse” instead of “Lemmy-verse”

          So far, the Lemmy devs being Marxist doesnt seem to affect the quality of the software. And since it’s the fediverse you can just go to a server that doesn’t clash with your own world view.

      Beautiful thing about the fediverse is that people can choose and no one get’s excluded if you do not agree with the popular choice. Hope it stays that way.

        But how else will I feel superior in my echo-chamber based opinions, now that everyone has a choice? I need to feel like I fit in with the masses but not TOO much…

    I highly reccomend making the move to Piefed. The Lemmy devs promote westerners all off themselves so that Putin and Xi Jinping can fuck more people’s wives.

        Some say lemmy is shit because .ml keeps promoting bollocks, everyone else says lemmy is shit because they try to stop .ml promoting bollocks.

        Can’t win. Can’t see it being different anywhere else.
