Fediverse

the bots and down-vote brigades are outta control

It feels about the same, aside from the week or two hexbear was around.

The reddit exodus tanked the quality of discourse so hard, I have to use my block list the exact same way I was using it on reddit; and that's fucking depressing. Eternal September, all over again.

I'm new to Lemmy, migrated here as of June 30. So since then I've been learning where to avoid reading comments. Basically just stop reading if I see enough toxicity.

But overall I like Lemmy, it still give me decent news to keep me somewhat up to date like reddit used to.

On kbin myself, but the amount of spam and bot posts is off-putting. It's worse if I'm following the same community on multiple instances. I'll have the same exact spam post show up multiple times in my feed because it was posted on multiple instances. There seems to be little in the way of moderation. Still browse here and appreciate it but I hope it improves in the future.

Also experiencing a bug where some long posts or comments will not expand making them unreadable.

That Lemmit bot that just keeps posting links to Reddit has got to go!!

If it's worth posting or discussing, link the original article and make your own damn post. I don't want a link back to Reddit.

So far better, more people actually chat, and Lemmy.world goes down less

It seems to be more active than the first time that I made a lemmy account. I'm looking forward to some of my favored subreddits making the switch.

Well....it exists, now.

It's gotten better for me, since the mobile apps available have gotten better. Initially I was using the website on mobile which felt clunky and filtering options aren't great. But now with apps like Connect I'm able to curate instances and communities I see more easily, so it's a more focused experienced than the default I had before. Apps really do make a difference. If these type of apps had been more mature in the beginning it would have helped initial adoption and retention.
