Just a little rant. When I first visited Lemmy Sites a couple of months ago it felt empty. Besides the really mainstream community pretty much everything else just felt empty.

Meanwhile though traffic has increased a lot and I feel well entertained by the traffic in c/hfy c/noncredibledefence c/keepwriting c/worldbuilding and so on. It is certainly less than Reddit but often quality is substancially higher and is "enough" to keep me entertained.

Also I like that you can actually post something without running into a bazillion deletes, bans and moderator shitshat because your post was two words to short, not NCD enough and so on.

Sure, the C64 community on Lemmy is laughable. So is the ARMA community. I still use REddit for that. Also I often check up stuff on r/hfy and r/NCD but since one week I have been prefering Lemmy for that.

Also my longer posts don't get eaten up any more. God, three weeks ago most posts with 3k an more just got lost without feed back. Nowadays I have even manges posts around 20k without breaking them up. Though the editor is still lacking for longer posts. On Reddit I can copy-paste pretty much anything from Libreoffice into Reddits Editor (which is also pretty lacking but differently lacking). On Lemmy I have to run most text through a little perl script to get them even using correct line breaks perl -pe 's/\n/\n\n/' and different sizes for Headlines are much to few to select from.

Not perfect, not even very good but definitely promising.

Yep, Lemmy is more active than tildes at this point.

Tildes is staying the same. And I like it that way. Lemmy is getting busy and I also like it that way. I go to tildes or lemmy depending on my mood. Haha

I totally forgot about squabbles. I haven't gone there for weeks now. I don't know the reason why, I'm just being pulled to lemmy and tildes much more.

Tildes was nice if you wanted to just circle jerk each other on a topic...but if you had any disagreements, the users there would just tag your post as malicious and then the single admin would delete it...then if you got to many people who disagreed with you, he will just ban you. It's his platform and all but fuck that authoritarian shit. I left reddit because of the level of mod abuse and admin abuse there.

Hmm. Thanks for the info, though I haven't experienced that in tildes but I'll keep that in mind.
