I know and can accept the response that say I should register to X site if I want more activity. I do plan to, least with Reddit, just biding some time before I make yet the 20th disposable e-mail and probably the 100th account before it gets banned again if I cross a glass person. Glass person being someone who's so fragile on opinions and things that they'll scream 'BAN THEM BAN THEM!'.

I've been on KBin Social, Lemmy World (least 2 dedicated accounts), KBin Run, Mastodon, Blue Sky .etc

And I'd stay for a good while but I also found myself bored immediately. I check for questions to answer, it's the same questions I've seen days and weeks prior. I check around for things that are reported and they'll be hours old and some of them can be years old.

I love the idea of the Fediverse, I like some of the features that are implemented. Especially when you do ask questions on here and you're allowed to expand on it. Unlike AskReddit for example, they don't really like that and will remove your post because explaining what your question is about and backing it with an example is just unacceptable to them.

I don't know. 43,000+ people sounds a lot on paper, but in practice, it feels like you're dealing with 50 people at any given day.

The largest Lemmy instance is the most boring, full of unfunny memes and the worst Redditor culture. What you want is high quality postrs, not simply more people!

As Lenin said: better fewer, but better.

At this point I've blocked so many .world communities that I don't see that as much. There are some users who I notice bring the reddit antagonism and I tend to block them too. If I come across a post that is full of reddit quips I just block the whole community. I guess I've blocked fewer .ml communities overall.

Good on you! I bet that is actually working out great. I should try something similar with another account.

I don't know. I do understand the preference of quality over quantity, but there is a limit. There's a difference between reddit anime discussion, where each episode discussion has hundreds of diverse opinions - most being shitty - sure, but while the voting system is flawed, the interesting comments do tend to rise. and between lemmy's anime discussions, where an episode has...let me check: between 0 to two comments: https://lemmy.world/c/anime or https://ani.social/c/anime. That is really sad. Not to mention that reddit has so much niche subreddits

Having enough users for a community is important, I agree! I think that with the current size of Lemmy userbases, communities are often more like topic flags than self-sustaining niches.

Though to pick on Reddit, every time mods crack down on bots their subreddits decrease in posts and comments around tenfold. A lot of the engagement is fake. Mostly to boost numbers for financial reasons but they can also serve as a means of controlling behaviors and narratives.

Be the change you seek! Most anime communities will let you post episode discussions, and if your instance is active enough you'll draw viewers sorting by new.

this is a very elitist approach camarad

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 22 minutes ago

It's not really elitist, Lemmy was founded as an alternative to Reddit, but Lemmy.world is a repitition of it, not to mention the anti-Marxist pro-zionist moderators. It's understandable that people leaving Reddit don't want the same thing as Reddit.

It is not elitist to reject unfunny garbage from Reddit brains

[-] ooli@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago

So you think if something is bad enough it is ok to discriminate again. Meaning you place the bar of disparaging some contend at around average value , so not at high elite value.

That can hold. It still depend on your value judgement of the content in question. Someone could think that lemmy.ml contend is "unfunny garbage".

The point of a site like this one, is that not one person is the decider. Not you or me. Users vote what is or is not funny, so that the "avergagely" funny systematically go on top. The more people they are, the more the average will mirror the real world population... I think considering the average population to not be "worthy" is pretty elitist. There are a lot of problem in such a site: Hive mind, trolling, mass vote, bot usage.... But discriminating against normal human user (even the worse one) doesn't seems to me like a solution

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 6 points 14 hours ago

Uh... I am the decider of what I identify as tired unfunny memes. Nothing wrong with that!
