People say it feels like old reddit and it does to a degree, but in other ways it feels better!

People are so interested in finding alternatives to the systems that we hate, and actually are passionate about supporting those things and developing them into useable and enjoyable platforms.

People are interested in spreading the word about the importance of unions and the climate crisis. Idk if those posts just get squashed on reddit, but I've seen SO much more talk of workers rights and informing others about them.

It just gives me hope about the future for once. Like things are happening that are different, and I know that we can't be silenced here. This is a platform by the people, for the people, and that can't ever be fully taken away.

I disagree and not because I don't like Lemmy.

All I seem to find are memes. And the 196 and memes communities just take over every feed.

Where's the discussion? Where are the video games? Where is important news? Where are the artists and music and photographers?

Maybe I'm just using Lemmy wrong.

Curate your feed. Block unwanted communities. My lemmy feed has no memes.

Unlike Reddit you have to put in the work subscribing to all the stuff you’re interested in, and then start blocking the communities you don’t want to see (such as the memes you’re getting bombarded with). Once you spend 30 minutes doing that, your feed will be 100x better.
