The lemmings are a squeaky bunch.

    I mean, yeah but everything on here is mostly political chatter, the niche comms are not that busy.

      Exactly. The niche communities is where Reddit has excelled for over a decade. The front page has always been a grim place to be.

      I really don’t like the gaslighting regarding Lemmy success. I like Lemmy, but let’s not pretend it’s a viable alternative for these use cases. Even popular communities for sports like football are utterly dead on Lemmy.

        Yeah and i really like lemmy, but it’s getting overwhelming because i feel like it’s turning into a echo chamber for these political views, and someone who is not in line with these views is called names or is shunned.

      The niche comms are more like blogs. Usually 1-2 people keep them alive, and sometimes there is discussion in the comments.
