Better timelines. Currently there's a lot of content buried which makes it really hard to create consistent cultures.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

If I could cross post in Sync like I can on the website.
If everyone here came to life and we could all hang out every day IRL
We aren’t alive?
Wait are you not also a bot?
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

An single sided interactive mirror of Reddit's communities.
It would be lovely to have all that content directly available right here.
And to be able to discuss the content with other Lemmy users.
But without being able to discuss / send back to the Reddit users.

Posts from ultra niche topics I'm interested in that inspire me to do things I would not otherwise. That is what I miss most.
I hope that the new "scaled" search helps solve this very issue
More comments, in general. Many posts have tons of upvotes but zero comments so it’s hard to engage in a conversation.
Yeah, thats why i tried to leave as many comment as possible, even the low effort one. Sometime it just depend on the type of post as well.

can't speak for others, but i'm mostly the quiet/introverted/lurker type..
sometimes i just feel like i have nothing valuable to add to the conversation
i will make an active effort to engage more tho
This is a good start :) thanks for the comment/contribution

Yeah I've started to contribute more with comments as well. Sometimes just saying the obvious is a nice way to get the community going!
Agreed! Even a small comment gets the momentum going
Keep in mind that the same article often gets posted to multiple communities on multiple instances, dividing up the comment pool.
I asked someone i know why they didn't join lemmy, their answer is lemmy is too fractured and they have to sub to multiple same community to get the full thing. I think it's a quirk of fediverse/ap protocol, where each instance could have and want their own community, and some instance user would like to stay in their own instance as well.
I like this part of lemmy. You can easily toggle whether you want posts/communities from your instance or globally. And I agree that some of the communities are redundant but I've found that it is easy enough to follow similar communities so my feed is all content I like.

Maybe there should be an option to join the various conversations together if a user wants to see more content. That sounds pretty difficult to manage, though.

so it’s hard to engage in a conversation.
Have you tried asking a question related to the original post's content?

That's fair. I wonder if anyone has looked into the vote to comment ratio compared to other social media platforms. I'm curious how Lemmy compares

I save posts to check them the next day for this reason. Sorting by new gets boring pretty quick :/
I sort by active, that usually helps
Sort by top - 6h. That's where the good stuff is.
