Honestly fragmentation is what keeps people that I recommend Lemmy away from it. They are used to the UX/UI doing most of the heavy lifting along with the more politically charged posts being there, my coworker who loves self hosting and tinkering tried to join. But was put off with how much more political things are on Lemmy and some Fediverse instances are and how hostile they can be with certain opinions. But I taught them how to curate their feed for more things tailored to their passions. But they’ve been on and off since there’s multiple versions the same community which feeds into the fragmentation issue. That is just a viewpoint from me, I’m still fairly new to the Fediverse and Lemmy. (Which I love how diverse it is and how passionate people are.)

PieFed improves on those issues. And eventually when Lemmy v1.0 is released that will help too

  I definitely will look into FieFed, do you have any resources you can point me to? I want to learn as much as I can to help teach people about the Fediverse and help build a wider web of folks going on and sharing.

  It wasn’t due to only one instance, but more so the way federation works. They got tired of seeing a few political posts when trying to explore what the federated feed has and I ended up doing some work to help them curate a personal feed and set up for things they enjoy the most.
  
  I’ve helped them curate what they want to see. But since there are so many copies of communities that have varying levels of activity that’s what also put them off of using it as a core platform.

    PieFed helps solve that with categories of communities, and also by gathering together all comments across all cross-posts. Seriously, it’s an enormous difference, check it out, e.g. on PieFed.social.

    Thank you so much! I’ll keep that in mind and I’ll learn more to teach others about it!

Yeah according to people here it is a sin to:

1) vote right-wing, or
2) vote at all, or
3) not vote

And you will definitely get an ear-full if you talk about it. Also, same if you do not talk about it. Well, aktshually…
