In another thread, I read a user’s comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page.
Is this your experience? How was lemmy when you joined and how do you think it’s changed?
Lol, so many people asking this. IDK, it kind of got better with time! I like here, my instance seems to share to same basic values has me, the interactions are less aggressive then on reddit. I sometimes go to Reddit to look at the trash. Oh and I got into Linux. Like really, my wife thinks I’m anoying about it.
I have tons of communities blocked and I’m still blocking. I don’t sub at all, I solely browse by all not to miss new communities. It’s very silent outside of meme stuff and USA news. I care for neither.

I have blocked so many meme communities… Is like Lemmy is 50% memes.
There’s a mechanic advice community that’s not memey…

can i have link please
https://lemmy.world/c/mechanicadvice
It’s still getting it’s bearings but should be g2g in a little bit
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !mechanicadvice@lemmy.world
! mechanicadvice@lemmy.world
Well shit, now the links don’t work for me :(
This is stupid
It wouldn’t be so bad if the memes were good and at least sometimes original.
Only way to fix that is to start contributing
Technology is quite active

I find it’s kind of a mixed bag. A bunch of communities I joined a few months ago are now just bot posts and boring but a bunch of newer communities I’ve joined are way better than reddit was.
Mines gotten better, but that’s because I’ve become active in communities like !risa@startrek.website which are full of awesome people. Without them it would’ve probably still got better, but they’ve made it way better
Its my first day here. I’m having a good time. Thanks for asking.
Welcome!
Except Starfleet is toast.ooo
Thanks. Feels good to be here. I know some people have mixed experiences but it really is neat seeing the fediverse come to life.
Being able to browse other federated sites from one app is cool as fuck too.
Yeah, it’s really cool. I’m way more active on Lemmy than I was on Reddit, and I keep thinking of a post made by @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website. I’ve seen some people talking about stuff that is not OK/mixed experiences (see the whole thing about rqd2.net that happened TODAY here), but I’ve just kept myself in areas which are full of great people (coincidentally @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website is one of those cool people).
The federated app thing is super cool tho lol
Scruffy believes in this platform
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website is pretty much a Lemmy celebrity at this point
D’aww, you guys
Welcome to the party!
Lemmy has gotten a bit slower, but the mobile app experience has gotten significantly better. I only go to reddit for one specific subreddit. Other then that, I’m full blown decentralized, except for my friends who still use discord.
I’m new to Lemmy, migrated here as of June 30. So since then I’ve been learning where to avoid reading comments. Basically just stop reading if I see enough toxicity.
But overall I like Lemmy, it still give me decent news to keep me somewhat up to date like reddit used to.
Mobile apps are significantly better than they were at the start of the reddit migration, to the point connect has replaced Boost for me even though boost finally caught up to the rest of the class
So better in general I guess
So far better, more people actually chat, and Lemmy.world goes down less
I do feel like engagement and participation have dropped off from the Rexit peak. However, as the pace has slowed the quality of the posts and comments have stayed strong or even gotten better.
I’m looking forward to being able to block whole instances to get a lot of the bot-generated chaff out of my All feed. Stuff like sports scores and Hacker News reposts.
There is more interaction, but also a lot more crazy far-right assholes the past few weeks at least (in my experience).
It seems to be more active than the first time that I made a lemmy account. I’m looking forward to some of my favored subreddits making the switch.
It’s been mixed for me.
Negatives: rise in bot reposts. Solution: block the individual bot accounts. Works fine. Cut spam on my feeds by a third easily.
Positives: more engagements on posts. More comments, more viewpoints. I think this is great.
I think some apps even let you block bot accounts entirely
That Lemmit bot that just keeps posting links to Reddit has got to go!!
If it’s worth posting or discussing, link the original article and make your own damn post. I don’t want a link back to Reddit.
I dont really get those anymore, I think I blocked a few users, seems to have cut down the volume.
I don’t mind the bot too much, if you don’t like the bot just block the bot and that blocks all the posts I think
