It’s a huge circlejerk here and there isn’t that much engagement in other smaller communities. And I highly doubt that it will change for the better since I already see that a lot of the remaining people love this little circlejerk and don’t even want more people that could diversify the content. More power to them, I have already given up on Lemmy as a Reddit replacement.
But for the life of me I can’t get any engagement on my r/legalcatadvice dupe at !cattorneys_at_paw@lemmy.world Maybe I should have used the original name. I really miss that one.
There are also some of us that are/were trying and experimenting with different types of the fediverse, such as Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Firefish, Pixelfed, etc. I have found myself gravitating toward Firefish, and Mastodon for the feed style, where as Lemmy, and Kbin are better as a forum or Pixelfed for image feeds.
To be fair, part of the reason to use a decentralized platform is because these topics are de facto censored on most of the internet.
FWIW early Bitcoin was the same; they were much more anarchist than they are today. Long after merging with the mainstream, the most anarchist thing most users do today is running the software itself. It’ll be the same way with Lemmy - eventually most users won’t care about anything leftist, they’ll just happen to be using p2p free software because it works better for reasons they refuse to acknowledge.
because these topics are de facto censored on most of the internet
Complaining about capitalism, landlords and US Politics are censored on most of the internet? Have you been to Reddit or Twitter?
Also aren’t a bunch of other websites specifically dedicated for discussing specific topics? I.e. modding video games, agriculture/horticulture, etc?
Are there like a bunch of bloggers complaining about living in the West that are being censored, or are they just not popular because they’re terrible writers and have 0 reach?
Also no one talks about Linux besides weird and niche communities. It’s not censored either. I say this as a Linux user.
Sorry if this was unclear, I only meant the points about capitalism, landlords, and politics are censored. Not Linux.
What do you think we should actually do about those problems? Ask nicer? Vote harder? Since you used Reddit a lot, you must be familiar with “[REDACTED]” - it’s one thing to just complain, but quite another thing to coordinate a defense.
No wonder since most topics on all are:

And fuck cars!
Honestly, fuck cars though
As someone who mostly likes those things, that does seem to be a big problem here.
I just made a new community yesterday about objects that looks sort of like private parts, if that helps? !mildlyprivates@lemmy.world
I’ve also got cute bugs and sea critters here: !awwnverts@lemmy.world
And cute bees here: !beebutts@lemmy.world

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !mildlyprivates@lemmy.world, !awwnverts@lemmy.world, !beebutts@lemmy.world, !cattorneys_at_paw@lemmy.world
Good bot
Don’t forget…
Pretty much the same shit you find on reddit. I have no problem with Linux though.
There are also some of us that are/were trying and experimenting with different types of the fediverse, such as Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Firefish, Pixelfed, etc. I have found myself gravitating toward Firefish, and Mastodon for the feed style, where as Lemmy, and Kbin are better as a forum or Pixelfed for image feeds.
Lemmy and 90% of the people here honestly suck and are circlejerky bastards with shit content but it’s also the only good option right now.
Thus the reason for !lemmymoment@lemmy.world
Be the change you want to see; add new/different content.
i’d rather see a circlejerk over capitalism being bad than people accepting the shittiness
