I don’t know if others are experiencing a similar situation. My all feed is very sparse with engagement. If I sort top six hours or by top 12 most posts have between 5-10 comments. I feel like there was more in the past? Is engagement dropping off? I’m on lemmy.world as my instance.

    Lemmy has way, way too much dross. Any user that pops in to check it out finds a billion foreign language posts, a billion weirdo anime shitposts and a billion Linux posts. It’s a massive turnoff. I spent 6 months blocking communities that had zero interest to me and I’m left with news and Star Trek posts. I don’t even like Star Trek but it’s the only OC in this place.

      I love star trek but 10 forward generates so much content that it becomes noise on the main feed. I’m also guilty of not contributing much though.

      You could just follow the communities you are actually interested in.

      “All” was shit on reddit so it’s going to be shit on any reddit replacement.

          I’ve found more communities that I like by browsing “Hot” and near the end of “top 6 hours” for what it’s worth.

        That’s precisely their point: once you filter out all of the noise, you are left with very, very, little substance. And the communities with any substance are active at a ratio that makes them flood your feed with ONLY those one or two topics.
