  This. I feel the drop in users are the people who came here thinking it was a place for “free speech” and are upset for being downvotedfor shit comments.

  In reality it’s probably people who checked out the site, saw its mostly software/tech and political communities, a handfull of communities for trans people and reposted memes, and a dash of “the West will fall and China will prevail” communist communities, and decided to leave.

  Also the porn is hidden too well, and even when you figure out how to find it, the porn that exists is 90% furry and hentai. Reddit has a huge amateur porn community that I’m certain keeps much of their users coming back.

      Makes sense as yes, Elon and republicans fucking suck. Not sure what else one would say about them.

      I recommend Connect for lemmy if you have Android. Can put in filters to block communities that contain any keywords and posts that contain key words. And block entire instances.

      When it comes to social media filtering is important to curate out the filler you don’t want.

        It’s not about filters. It’s the community it self.

        News in Lemmy is a biased at best.

        A great feature, but with a small userbase making a small amount of content, filtering those things out leaves you with not much left.

      Definitely recommend subscribing to stuff you’re more interested in and browsing that way. All is always going to be a bit lowest common denominator, same as on every similar site.

      So a fair reflection of reality? I get that. I have different venues to escape reality myself.

      I followed hobby communities and never ever touch All or similar equivalents. Sometimes All has other stuff, but all too often there’s some kind of post talking about what you mentioned or that is just a link to rage bait and the comments are full of rage.

      I even agree with a lot of those opinions! I just don’t want to think about EloncarsworkrepublicanGoogle 24/7, I want to have a good time. So I stay in my subscribed feed.

    It certainly feels like it is, because the user base seems to be made up of exclusively the type of person from reddit that made me want to commit war crimes.
