This. I feel the drop in users are the people who came here thinking it was a place for “free speech” and are upset for being downvoted for shit comments.
In reality it’s probably people who checked out the site, saw its mostly software/tech and political communities, a handfull of communities for trans people and reposted memes, and a dash of “the West will fall and China will prevail” communist communities, and decided to leave.
Also the porn is hidden too well, and even when you figure out how to find it, the porn that exists is 90% furry and hentai. Reddit has a huge amateur porn community that I’m certain keeps much of their users coming back.
I recommend Connect for lemmy if you have Android. Can put in filters to block communities that contain any keywords and posts that contain key words. And block entire instances.
When it comes to social media filtering is important to curate out the filler you don’t want.
Definitely recommend subscribing to stuff you’re more interested in and browsing that way. All is always going to be a bit lowest common denominator, same as on every similar site.
It certainly feels like it is, because the user base seems to be made up of exclusively the type of person from reddit that made me want to commit war crimes.
Stop advertising the site as a place to go when you get banned from reddit for being too insufferable even for them.

So a fair reflection of reality? I get that. I have different venues to escape reality myself.
Damn dude, that was such a spot-on summary I feel like I don’t need to log in to lemmy for a month lol

A great feature, but with a small userbase making a small amount of content, filtering those things out leaves you with not much left.
Makes sense as yes, Elon and republicans fucking suck. Not sure what else one would say about them.

Oh crap. Has that been happening? That would be bad.
