RUSTY PLIERS
I do occasionally go back to reddit for that one. I don’t think video heavy subs will make it here in lemmy’s current state.
absolutely nothing.
A less specific demographic, which is a little ironic when referring to reddit. But lemmy is even more a subset of a subset of a subset of people than reddit is, and it gets a bit old at times.
Politics everywhere, and most of it is just circlejerking over something trump is doing and everyone agreeing how terrible he / his supporters / his handlers / the broligarchs are. There isn’t much discourse to be had when everyone on here already agrees, and I don’t mean I miss right wing voices. Just that I don’t need to talk about politics with people who think virtually exactly the same as me about these things. And I’m also not an american.
Then there is an annoying flood of trans content, which is great that it has its place here, but for the most part doesn’t interest me beyond a general sentiment of support for people to live their life how they wish. I want more diversity in my feed.
Not in necessarily in opinions but in topics

Yes. There’s little or no novelty here. I’m not surprised by something new or interesting. I get a lot of nostalgia hits because we’ve all experienced similar things.
those commnets almost always bots, i dont entertain them, when i do sometimes i report them because they were obvious spamming, like the bots they were.

The extra-specific ask communities where great! Ask science fiction was one of my favorites
Video game specific communities. Like any random game that is even semi-popular has an active sub on Reddit. Even the most popular games in the entire world rn don’t have much activity, if they even have communities, on Lemmy.
I would rather argue the motivations of a souls boss than politics or what the best linux distro is 😮💨.

Miquella did nothing wrong.
Honestly, the only thing I don’t condone him doing is literally giving up his love. How can he be a benevolent god without that?
I feel like there’s probably about 50 different directions that one could take that idea, and the story very clearly paints that act as a Bad Thing™ to have done.
But to play devil’s advocate (just because I have also been missing this type of discussion), one could argue that experiencing love would compromise Miquella’s plans for his planned age of compassion. An age of compassion would be one which treats everyone equally, to try to universally end worldly suffering.
Love, on the other hand, is what allows one to play favorites, and is also something that cannot really be controlled. Having a stronger attachment towards some people over others because of love would result in discontent, and sabotage the type of egalitarian compassion Miquella wanted to create.
Marika’s reign became rocky because there were conflicts between those she favored and those she shunned. She absolutely played favorites, and did not love everyone equally. Her solution to break the cycle of suffering was to simply remove death from the world entirely, but as we saw, that just ended up making its own whole host of problems.
So I think Miquella was trying to avoid making that same mistake of favoritism we saw under Marika, but ended up making another mistake which could have been just as potentially consequential as his mother’s decision to shatter the rune of death. A dispassionate “compassion” wouldn’t really be compassion at all.
Lemmy.world already has a sub for the best game ever.
Hell, I still lurk truestl because there’s no equal here.
The only communities that I still regularly browse on Reddit are the regional communities for the place I live currently and places I’ve lived previously. Those seem to have little to no activity around here. I no longer participate in them on Reddit, only lurk.
i used to but i heard alot of cities or states got astroturfed by right wingers, in my city, theres all these good-two-shoes people.
I miss reddit from 10 years ago.
Lemmy is nice.
I agree.
Came here to say this. Reddit is a shitshow, it’s as bad as Facebook now IMO. Lemmy is quiet but higher quality and a far nicer atmosphere
The hyperspecific interests mainly. The wealth of obscure info too.
A lot of good people need to make the switch.
Most subs i follow have a discord anyway, so mostly on discord. For the subs not on discord, I use alternative measures viz; a. ChubbyFire - I still check the space out
b. r4r- I Resort to other pay for play NSFW apps.
Specific TV show episode threads. I loved reading what people thought, things I’d missed, etc.
Same. The r/severanceappletvplus threads are amazing.
I would generally be watching out of sync so I’d have full threads to enjoy, rich content very often.
