Can you elaborate how making Lemmy like current popular sites will prevent tech and "tankie" content?
Do i need to?
Reddit was great because it had everything from baking to bombmaking and itwas popoular in its own communities. Lemmy only has bombmaking and even then nobody in the bombmaking communities go to !bombmaking@lem.ee or !bombmaking@lemmee.to or !bombmaking@federationsite.websitedomainending
They go to reddit/r/bombmaking. Because thats where the people are.
Lemmy is supposed to be a better reddit alternative. But all we have right now is a big majority of "socialism is the best, all problems stem from capitalism" people. And while i totally agree with the sentiment, i do not want to have the 1000th discussion on why capitalism sucks.
Especially not if the discussion is brought up everytime by capitalismhater@capitalismhate.capitalimshate who highjacks all threads to speak about why capitalism is bad.
Edit or rather adding onto my "rant": I do not mean that the majority is literally "socialism is the best"-people. But we have a strong and loud majority of enthusiasts for their fields that are nieches at best in ""the real world""
That's pretty much the biggest gripe I have with Lemmy; there can be different groups with the same general theme who never come across each others' content, resulting in small echochambers with minimal content.
No, you don't need to, but I was interested in what you might say.
I'm sorry. My bias screwed with the tone that i read your question in. I am just way too confrontative.
