honestly. i’m still stuck to reddit because of the content only, and if i found a suitable alternative for that niche i’d finally be free to leave. i hate reddit- i hate the app, the “features”, the admins, all of that, but i LOVE the content itself
Maybe we should find an ad agency and crowd source funds to make slick advertisements for Lemmy and Mastodon. I feel like you should promote a specific instance for each though, and avoid the “join-mastodon” page.
The way the instances are split does not generally make much sense for the user. It’s extremely arbitrary. We all know why, and that it’s not a bad thing altogether, but it’s bad for the user experience. That aspect of federation is not something we should promote.
the content in larger subs has gotten significantly worse. like i said, i only really browse a niche hobby sub, and the content there has remained just as good as ever.
i think that most people here (myself included) really like that lemmy is so small, though i can see why it could feel like a problem to fix. it doesn’t have the advantages of infinite content like other services do, but the smallness means anyone here really wants to be here and is interested in discussion. it’s tight knit! i feel like people who actively want a reddit alternative have searched and already heard about lemmy, and i wouldn’t exactly want the general user base to be here considering how bad they can be haha.
I like to use the Imgur app for browsing content now that I’ve stopped using reddit. The navigation is different, but it’s usually a lot more positive of an experience.
