That’s all fine and dandy until your block list is a mile long and you only get a handful of posts a day anymore because that’s what you’re left with when you filter out the furries, anime porn, ragebait, OMG LINUX, thigh high socks, etc. The OP is right, Lemmy has just as much of a content problem as any other place and the blame is largely on the users.
At least on Reddit, despite its massive flaws, I get actual discussion that’s more than a sentence or two of “I agree bad guy is bad!” The amount of low effort engagement in here is atrocious.
Well, I try to come here to keep up to date with what’s going on with the world and my experience is generally this is the second or third place that news “breaks”. By the time it hits Lemmy, it’s basically outdated.
So seeing a handful of posts that are out of date with barely any actual discussion going on is pretty useless. I find myself checking Lemmy once or twice a day, seeing there’s nothing worth being here for, and leaving. That’s not how you grow a community.

And that’s bad why exactly?
