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.

Poo poo!
Hello,
and
are all open to the public.
There’s big robots, little robots, cursed robots, real life robots, and antiquated ships that aren’t robots but are made of metal!
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: [email protected]
No machine should communicate with me without my express permission.
The prophecy is true!
looks like OP hasn’t been to the world news community.
I mean, I’ve blocked the news community. Too much political bullshit.
I love it when I’m reading the comments for a meme about butts or something, and then it quickly evolves into a deep discussion about the nature of human society.
B-b-b-b-butt… please remember to vote:-).
Perfectly balanced.
Lmao, the number of comments on this post is ironic. I’ve had some pretty fun conversations on lemmy.
grrrrrrr how dare you make fun of shitposts at uselessserver093
It’s getting to be worse than Reddit here. Between the countless memes to scroll through and having your account banned for imaginary rule breaking because now that upvotes/downvotes don’t mean anything, people just report comments they don’t like and mods oblige……
It’s not like they meant anything before?
Wait, wasn’t there a post the other day with Lemmy stats showing more discussion than ever?
Yes.
Thanks.

You are so polite. A gentleman and a scholar!

Well, in my honest opinion as a commenter, I’d just like to say that I love discussions. What I tend to not enjoy is replying to the 1500 different people who replied to my post with valid takes, requiring me to read, understand and reply appropriately to all of them.
I am lazy, ok?!
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.
Since federation is broken a lot of instances I follow don’t have new posts. So no discussions for me.
What do you mean by federation being broken?
