I second this. From experience, I noticed more hyper local subs on Reddit are very active, but the more larger general subs seem to endlessly repost old content or share exaggerated titles/content. I do wish there were more of a local presence on Lemmy, not everyone wants to go to Reddit or Facebook Groups for that.
Yeah I wish only for a few things that need a bigger base, sub for my city on Reddit was so helpful, and I miss Normal Nudes and Naked Progress, the NSFW stuff on Lemmy is more onlyfans girls & AI stuff, Reddit had such a massive reach they had everything, more people means more niche stuff.
Overall though? So much nicer here. And I am not sure you can have both, it's probably nicer because it's smaller.
Lemmy does need to grow past everyone browsing on “all” (which I do) and then getting outraged for no reason that there’s a woman-only sub. Yes, we need specialist communities that aren’t for everyone too.
For what its worth, I am not browsing "all". I have two communities in bookmarks and I come and check what was posted in those.
I was pretty late to come to Lemmy though...
What are the two communities?
I only ask out of general interest as its such a specific number, if you're not comfortable sharing, don't feel obliged.
