  • (I’m making this post so that people who love Lemmy can help me understand, not to hate. I want to love Lemmy)

    I’ve been on Lemmy since the reddit migration and every day I dislike it more.

    I never understand what people are talking about when they say they like Lemmy for the “closer community”, most posts I see barely have any comments, and the ones that are there mostly look no different to what I used to see on Reddit.

    the smaller community results in less posts about less topics, so it’s difficult for me to find anything I’m interested in. on Reddit I could join dozens of videogame-specific or niche hobby subs and they’d all be at least a little active, here it seems the only posts I can get to show in my feed are environmental and big tech doomerism and occasionally some Linux discussion, with very few memes or otherwise just funny/easy posts. I like talking about Linux, sure, but I don’t want a sinking feeling in my gut every time I wanna scroll idly.

    there just seems to be a lot of toxicity here on top of everything. I’m constantly seeing people arguing or being rude about Linux opinions, big tech/privacy topics, etc. I worry it’s a bit more of an echo chamber than reddit ever was for me as well. I feel there are just a lot of perspectives I’m not getting here.

    I left reddit because I hate the business decisions they’re making, but every day I get closer to going back. I don’t want to support such a shitty company that treats users more like cattle than customers, but I’m struggling to adjust to Lemmy even all these months later.

    man & girl go out to drive under moonlight. they stop at on at a side of road. he turn to his girl and say: “baby, i love you very much” “what is it honey?” “our car is broken down. i think the engine is broken, ill walk and get some more fuel.” “ok. ill stay here and look after our stereo. there have been news report of steres being stolen.” “good idea. keep the doors locked no matter what. i love you sweaty”

    so the guy left to get full for the car. after two hours the girl say “where is my baby, he was supposed to be back by now”. then the girl here a scratching sound and a voice say “LET ME IN”

    the girl doesn’t do it and then after a while she goes to sleep. the next morning she wakes up and finds her boyfriend still not there. she gets out to check and man door hand hook car door.
