I like the Voyager app, it helps integrate with piefed and has a lemmy community discovery feature, however I get this weird delay where communities appear blank the first time I land on them.

Not enough users.

I’ll add delusional kids who think they’re progressive or better than reddit but are actually just the same liberals incels and chuds but with different wallpaper.

This website/network is even more isolated and cut-off from the wider world so you see a lot more people who have absolutely no idea how the world works and what it means to live, to have values, to contribute and have real community. The tone of isolationism and xenophobia of people with even slightly different attitudes reminds me a lot of when I made burner accounts on /r/conservative and /r/theredpill.

And I don’t mean that from a “both sides are the same” way. I am pretty deep left, but there are a lot of people here who are seriously bigoted and contentious with anyone who doesn’t push all the “perfect performative leftist” buttons on any idea, and somehow think they’re superior despite being alone, asocial, anti-work, anti-money, anti-establishment in every way, against voting, against political action that isn’t tankie roleplay, against community that isn’t discord echo-chambers.

Duplicate posts. Soooo many duplicate posts

Everyone on Lemmy has a tiny penis and severe personality disorder. I blend in too much.

To many communists.

Everyone complains about it being empty and not many want to do anything about it. I’m not sure if this is even because of the user number, because I’ve been on forums with just a few users that were very active. It often seems like too many people here are waiting for a large influx of users so that others can do the posting. Also people try waaaay too hard to copy Reddit 1:1. They have this one very specific community with certain content and try to copy it here. If there was a subreddit for a 1998 version of an obscure computer game, they want this very same community to exist here. Instead of discussing said game in a more general community.

Russian propaganda

Few users. You would notice a very big difference if there were more as you see the number of posts and comments.

Lemmy? the politics.

the fediverse? I know I’ve said this like a billion times to the same five people who come on here, but federated platforms still ape the format of big social media platforms, and inherit many of their pitfalls. I want long-term discussion and human connection, not an endless waterfall of content that quickly gets swept away.

North Korea shill. Seriously. How absolutely dumbfuck do you have to be to actually believe there is even the slightest good in that regime? It hurts me personally that I’m Korean and that I’ve seen countless people, some I’ve met in person, who lost their families in that hellhole. And yet people who can’t even spell Kim Jong Un or Juche are celebrating that prison of a kingdom.

Nothing about them are “left” or “progressive”. To me, they’re worse than MAGA shitheads.

Absolutely disgusting. Hope they all rot in North Korea.

Tankies and anarchists.

The thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are “hosting” the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.

The lack of people. We need more people on the Fediverse.

Not enough artists posting their weird shit. Analogue Nowhere rules but i need more
