Lately I tend to prefer lemmy over Reddit and mastodon too. It’s all about content I agree.

I get it. I basically have to browse on the everything tab to get enough content, and just block the politics communities because I get enough of that from everywhere else in life. I've been using the lack of content to just ween myself off social media though, rather than go back to Reddit. This is the only "social media app" I have installed on my phone unless you count Discord and YouTube
If the BlueSky migration keeps up the pace, I think it will be a good bet that Reddit to Lemmy will be the next big user migration. There's signs it's already started, within the last year I've been here I've seen the community and sub-communities grow significantly and there's been an increase of self-proclaimed converts over the last several months.

Block FlyingSquid, it improves the community a huge amount.
Do it before they drag you into an argument, lose, then ban you.

Cath 22 ? If you cant be ass'd moving why would others, you're just enabling the enshitifcation to continue
Community is what you make it.
i would also like to like lemmy.
Unfortunately it's userbase seems to have a fairly significant infection of stupidity. (also the lemmy platform is just, underbaked, in general)
But i'm starting to think my standards of not being completely uneducated and spouting literal bullshit on things, is too high for most of the population...
I think i just have a problem with all of humanity, to be honest.
From small seeds... I had noticed a huge improvement regarding lemmy posts and threads, before the US election, and then it all kind of went backwards.
But if you have any questions about anything - niche or otherwise, you should post them on lemmy, helping it to grow faster. Even if the answers can already be found in other community forums.
You should get specific replies to your question anyway, but also anyone coming behind you won't have to go to reddit or any other place for the answer.
It requires everyone to help, but questions are the fastest way to grow in most cases. Not including the likes of subs that can post original content, A TON of reposts on them too, but some OC.
But mainly asking for help with anything should get people with knowledge on the subject replying.
With the idea that eventually many answers can be found here without having to go elsewhere.
