What is the solution or plan to address that there is no content? I don't see much here so I go between this and Kbin and still reddit. This community is 99% less toxic than reddit and they are heading in a bad direction in the last years/s. But I want a viable alternative. Lots of content here is reposted over and over in different communities so the % of original content is very low if you consider that.
I’m really not experiencing that— because there isn’t The Algorithm feeding you Content™, lemmy is more reliant on you subscribing to specific communities and for them to be active. Personally, I’m subscribed to a lot of communities, but, likewise, I get a lot of active content. Im able to, in a satisfactory way, replicate the experience that I had on reddit— minus 99.9% of the toxicity and hostility, of course.
You may simply find that it’s a mater of fine-tuning your experience here, although the platform itself is still improving. I remember Reddit in its early days, and it, too, took time to improve.
To add to this, try sorting on something other than the default.
I think once "Hot" is fixed, the experience will be much better. Edit: Should now be fixed in version 0.18.3
Isn't Hot working correctly at the moment?
It used to show months old posts, but that might have been fixed in 0.18.3?
It should be, at least it's my experience since the update
Awesome! That's good to hear.
