My friend’s on reddit a lot, uses it for support questions and reviews mostly, but got fed up with all the bullshit toxicity.

I suggested she check out Lemmy, there’s less content, but generally fewer toxic interactions, and we scrolled a bit.

She checked it out, didn’t understand a meme on WomensStuff, had me ask them about it, and was so put off by their responses that that was the end of lemmy for her.

    That’ll do it.

    Do you think their concern is an actual lack of content or they just want to see new posts popping up every second?

      I think it’s actually content. Most of them follow in-depth subs like AskHistorians and stuff like that, where there just isn’t an equivalent here.

        Lemmy askhistorians has thousands of posts, right? i feel like I see them all the time.

        I get what you mean though, niche interests with missing or inactive communities here

          There’s just a scale to reddit still that the fediverse doesn’t come close to touching. Hopefully that changes, but it’s not even close right now.

            Different scales for sure. I like the small scale of lemmy though, I’m happy with the gradual build. Definitely more lively than it was when I first checked it out a few years ago.
