I would imagine it comes from the fact that you can generate electricity with potatoes

Is anyone else disappointed that Lemmy is becoming the new Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I try to be generally positive when commenting, but I'm usually not a poster... Not sure how questioning the direction of the masses is creating drama, but I guess they have spoken on the matter...

I'm generally looking at all, so maybe that's my problem. I am finding it hard to find smaller communities that might interest me, but maybe it's the app I'm using (Jerboa).

Any recommendations? Either specific communities or tips for finding some?

I joined Lemmy a few weeks before the API change. I loved the conversations. I loved how the content was slower but more engaging, and less politically charged. There was nobody shitting on Elon Musk, or Twitter, or Reddit.

People were having meaningful, engaging conversations about random stupid memes. It felt like the early days of the internet... It felt like a small community of outcasts that all got together and posted shitty memes for the sake of giving someone else a feed of shitty memes to scroll through while they were taking a shit... Or not taking a shit, apparently...

But now that the Reddit API change happened... It's like the super toxic part of Reddit was skimmed off the top and sent our way.

Every popular post is negatively charged. Every comment has an underpinning of hate. Everything is spun with some time of agenda that feeds half truths to make it look like whole lies.

What happened here? I thought this place was supposed to be better then Reddit? To not have some corporate overlord algorithm controlling us as part of some toxic hivemind?

Does anybody know of a Lemmy instance that has been spared from this proto-molecule outbreak?

Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Question about this, is it just a speedier general browsing on other instances as well? Or just your local posts?
