I donβt get how some of youse only ever post in the dailies.
Youβre on the whole of Lemmy and you keep to one post. So weird.
I keep to Local and Subscribed. I used to explore wider around Lemmy, but the feed is full of US politics, and wars in Gaza and Ukraine. I don't find many kind people and reasoned discussions in those posts.
I'd probably be up for wider content sometimes, but I also don't want to get to a point where I'm spending 5 hours a day on Lemmy. I'd rather spend those hours reading a book. Presently, that book is Farnsy's Autobiography and it's really tickling my nostalgia.
I blocked soooooo many politics/news communities and also blacklisted the words "trump" "musk" "Gaza" "America" "USA" [etc] on my third party mobile app. Don't think you can do that on Lemmy web just yet, but 95% of my Lemmy browsing comes from mobile so it works out fine for me
I sent you a dm :)
I only came to Lemmy for this community
I'm part of the Lemmy problem here as old.reddit has far more activity in niche communities that I enjoy so I stick over there, which then means the activity stays on old.reddit except other than with this beautiful community of local awesome people in this daily thread.
We're a family group here. We don't need to see the world, we only need to see each other
Lol, I scroll Lemmy like I did with Reddit, I don't comment much because I don't think I have much to say. I do upvotes posts I see. But why come here and look down on us?
I guess if you're looking for an answer to that, it's probably (like most things): because they want to.
It's not that weird. This place has a different vibe to Lemmy as a whole, and most of /top is just memes and stuff. Some people don't care for memes. We have a good community here of regulars, so it's not that weird.
