One of my issues with Lemmy so far is how meta it is.
Reddit is often meta, sure, but 60% of the content I’m seeing here (while browsing Everything) is about how much better Lemmy is or whatever app people are using to access it. Let’s get back to shitposting, articles, and memes please. I want this platform to work and I don’t think it will if this content continues.
Your problem is browsing Everything. There’s a lot of content on Lemmy that isn’t meta-posting - you just need to curate your own feed, like on Reddit.
Thanks. On reddit when I was bored of my frontpage I’d go on /r/all to check out other subs and maybe subscribe if I liked the content. That has been my strat here and it isn’t panning out so far. Looks like I gotta change it up.
Thanks for this. Now I just have to hope some of the communities I briefly looked through like the history related ones don’t suffer from usdefaultism. It seems like meta and defaultism kills all interests for me.

Subscribe to some more casual places for a funner frontpage.

Everything on Lemmy is cancer
Edit: I’m obviously talking about the “Everything” tab, curated Lemmy is great.
Cool. Goodbye then.
Bye 👋
Joking aside, I’m talking about the “Everything” tab. Just like r/all on Reddit, it gets cancerous fast. And that’s a sign of a growing community.
This is the only comment/post you’ve ever made, and it’s meta lol. Be the change you want to see
