    You all need to find the courage to close with reddit forever. It’s done, don’t you see it? Everything was taken away from apps to moderators power, purge of old messages, and soon the reward system. What this suppost to mean? What else will be removed? It is in falldown.

      Don’t worry… it’s all being replaced with direct payment to approved contributors… going tiktok model, it can get way shittier, and it will.

      I would like to, but the fact is lemmy is 99% shitposts and memes. Don’t get me wrong, I like that stuff but I also need to know wtf is going on in the world. Since losing rif and refusing to use the official app, I am now basically getting news when my wife sees it on Facebook, which means it’s old news by then.

        We all have our bias. My lemmy is not like that. Which means you’re not curating your feed.

        I block every community with content I’m not interested in. It works. My lemmy feed is very interesting.

          Same. It might take a minute to curate for the specific news you want, but there are plenty of communities providing substantive news at least daily.

          Any tips you can share on how you did this? I’m totally new to Lemmy, and I’m having a hard time finding and/or discovering interesting communities.

            You’ll have to look for the ‘block community’ button. Depending on the UI you’re using, this can be in different places.

            In Lemmy’s default UI, you first click the part under the title identifying the community under which it was posted. Let’s say it was posted under darkmemes@lemmy.world. What you do is:

            1. click that darkmemes@lemmy.world;
            2. on the community page, you then click the ‘block community’ button on the sidebar.

            click that button.

            On a phone app, the process may be less cumbersome. On Thunder, an Android app, you just have to click and hold the post, wait until a menu appears, and then select ‘block community’.

        The reality is that the shitpost and meme communities will be the ones that give birth to the niche communities we need to thrive. It’s easy, low-effort, but fun-enough and engaging enough to get people through the door.

        Lemmy will hit its stride. I did some minor tweaks to my feed and it got a lot better. I’m still getting the lay of the land tho

          Do you know if there’s a way to group multiple instances into a “multifeed” like multireddits?

            Not yet but it’s been requested a million times. Someone will get to it soon enough, whether it’s the devs or a third party solution.
