And nobody seems to bother (or highlight it which would be the job of the commenter)

I just browsed the feed for 20 mins after a month off being sober and don’t miss the disguised instagram feed at all - short videos, meme comments, no old forum experience whatsoever. But thankfully we have that on Lemmy now, so Lemmy try that :)

Btw I didnt even read more than 5 comments total… heres examples:

EDIT: look at how many “people” reply to that stuff - what a sheit show

    Reddit is completely unusable outside of old.reddit with RES and sticking to niche subs. I only ever use it when I’m extraordinarily bored and out of lemmy content.

      I hate going there these days. I’m not sure if it was a frog boil or what but the site now is a shadow of the one I left during the big mod exodus. It’s terrible now, so much less info, user base has devolved, riddled with ads.

      I imagine if I was still there all the crap would feel normal but having left, every time I visit now and see what huge changes have been made. Every time i visit the quality of the site has tanked even more.

        Ye, generic feed is absolute shite. Only direct links to some subs might be worth it

        It really is shit. It’s constant ads, posts dressed up as ads, bots and hysteria. It really is no better than Facebook

      Yep, I go for a couple of niche things every few days. That’s it. It’s like fucking Facebook now and that is BAD
