        I am fairly confident, that there is more content on lemmy right now, than a person can sift through.

        If there is more than about a dozen comments under a post, i rarely read all of them.

          yeah i think it’s more about the quality than the quantity

          like, there can be a thousand comments but all of them pointless, which is what happens when your social media platform only tries to grow in user numbers. we should strive for quality over quantity, i think.

            Nah, just the “active” algorithm is shit in Lemmy. Try other sorts. I promise the feed will change. Not as much as I’d like, but it does change.

              …I do. But the majority of the communities I subscribe to (and I have found multiple iterations across different instances) are not very active. Their reddit counterparts are.

              You can stop trying to reject my experiences with your nonsense to make yourself look right. You’re not.

                I’m not rejecting your experience but pointing out the fact that other sorts are far more active.

                It’s not my or Lemmy’s shortcoming that there aren’t as many bots users posting on a platform that is MUCH newer and specifically in competition with the long-standing one, and your shitty attitude is going to produce the opposite result that you want.

                  Yeah I’m sure me pointing out that there being more content than a person can sift through doesn’t matter if it’s not the right kind of content, will keep all the people who aren’t in Lemmy from joining Lemmy…

                  And apparently me stating that basic fact is enough to get labeled as a shitty attitude, as well as blamed for the actual shortcoming of having fewer people. Which is definitely not the type of aggressive behavior that is more likely to keep people away than an acknowledgement of current low population.

                  Good job.
