Took a peek on Reddit, it really boggles my mind how oblivious and obedient people are.

I decided to take a peek at Reddit to see what kind of activity is happening, a good handful of the subreddits I am subscribed to are still super active with posts and commenters.

There's quite a few news articles on the front page regarding Spez and the blackouts, I am surprised those articles are even still up for people to see.

The comment section is filled with people saying how they should just kick the mods out of the dark Reddit's and take over, ofcourse these posts are heavily upvoted...

Perhaps there is some AI activity going on, I mean it's kind of easy to do in this day and age. You just prompt an army of AI bots to defend Reddit, and try to keep users engaged.

I am so happy I found Lemmy, and I am so happy that there is a comfortable level of activity. Sure it's only a small fraction of what Reddit is activity wise, but it's so much more hearty and welcoming.

Reddit has just turned into one big toxic mess. Lemmy reminds me of what Reddit used to be 10 years ago.

Please crosspost to c/general@lemmy.world or c/reddit@lemmy.world or c/reddit@lemmy.ml instead of here. This is

intended for posts about the Lemmy.world server. That means announcements from the team, issues you see etc.

Also mod @sunspider@lemmy.world can you change the name of this community to Lemmy.world - Server or something?

“How can people keep doing what they’ve habitually done because it’s what they’re used to?” ask all the folks who are posting in a community that’s clearly described as not being the place for those discussions but people are doing it anyway.

People are generally the weak link in any system.

My feed is literally filled with Lemmy.world@Lemmy.world posts because of this (not that I have a problem with that though lol).

These nice discussions really should be in their dedicated communities as you suggest

Search for communities that interest you, subscribe to them, instead of Local feed, look at Subscribed, maybe even All, then sort by New or Hot. Because it's still growing, New actually comes up with some good stuff without going by too quickly.
