Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world
No machine should communicate with me without my express permission.
The active sort should help a little with this, but ya its definitely a problem. Besides just blocking meme-specific communities, can anyone think of ways we could make discussions more prominent for people who'd rather use lemmy for that?
You can't go wrong with taking inspiration from RES. Having a filter for the type of posts next to the sort type would be pretty good. That would require the posts to be discerned into categories (video, image, text...). I believe they currently aren't?
There might be an open issue in the lemmy back end for this, but if not, you might need to open one.
In some niche communities, its discussions stay valid like /c/radiology
I've been noticing that the number of discussions on the internet have been going down lately. Although maybe it's just me using social media less? lol
Boobs
Well said
I commented a lot on reddit. Since switching over, there doesn't seem to be as much activity for me to bounce off from. I still chip in, but it's definitely not at the same level
I interact with it less and less each month. It's become a toxic hellhole that usually leaves me wondering why I still bother to try - even in the niche subs.

I’ve found it’s hard to get any Discord community together where chat messages are less than 60% reposted meme images. Someone will post an interesting thought, and then the next post is a single emote or a cat-related meme with a single word like “Udge”.

This isn't wrong, but shitposts bring people who meme which brings people who discuss. Have to get a strong user base before strong discussions really kick off.
Lmao, the number of comments on this post is ironic. I've had some pretty fun conversations on lemmy.
Perfectly balanced.

Poo poo!
