The people that get their fee fees hurt from seeing opinions they disagree with, cf all the whinging abt tankies in the comments.

Communities: People complaining about niche communities, yet they don't make or promote them. Create a community, promote it, share it with other users, share content.
Politics: I came here to discuss about everything, but I only see new and dead communities, being overtaken and post daily politics.
This is what I have blocked so far, yet more communities are being made, and one article goes on and on and on and on......

Repeated content. When I doomscroll I see the same posts I've already seen instead of less popular ones.

Make sure to sort your all feed by hot instead of active.

I'll try that, thanks!

Some of the lemmy front ends have an option to hide posts you've already seen. I know connect does.

I instantly disliked that when I joined Lemmy. This could totally be solved in the frontend by storing hashes of pictures I've seen before.

Block the person or the community.
I had this problem with US politics, same most multiple times, blocking communities did work for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I do want to see the content and community, just once though. I don't even mean the same story being posted multiple times, but I think I see the exact same post multiple times.

From what I've heard, some instances can be really slow or break often

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

The backend is weirdly sluggish, and it's probably because of the database code.

Some Communities are still controlled by people with absurd egos and overconfidence. Most of them hate people too, which is fun for a community manager.

I think it mirrors real life though, the type of people who want to be leaders tend to be assholes, and the ones who would be good at leading won't volunteer to do it.

The fact instances can be closed on users. I’m in EE I’m fairly new and now my instances will be closed, it’s pretty insane my content and account can be unilaterally destroyed by someone entirely out of my control

The smallness isn’t too bad if you hide read posts, hide posts you don’t care about and subscribe to a lot of different things but things showing up in my feed for days if I don’t hide them is obnoxious to me
