    I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁

      Our voluntary survey shows that 95% of people who participated in it don’t mind participating in surveys.

      It’s kind of a dumb question. Everyone who doesn’t like it just leaves immediately. That’s like going to a Detroit Red WIngs game and asking the crowd who their favorite hockey team in the state is.

        “Dumb” is too strong a word for the way the questions were worded. I know some users here are on Tildes as well, or Squabble (idk if that’s how you spell it). Doesn’t mean lemmy is THE alternative - just one of many minor ones. Also, being on lemmy doesn’t mean you’re not thinking of moving away specially with Meta’s arrival.

          Ok, I guess I could see that. I’ve just not felt the need to use other link aggregators, but Mastodon and Pixelfed have been a cool experience for me so far.

            I’m looking for Reddit alternatives and so far Lemmy does a fairly decent job.

            I’m hoping to recapture the old Reddit feel where there was enough content but not so many users where everything just turned into drama or a flame war in the comment section. So far Lemmy seems fairly slow with content but that’s probably a good thing for me, I shouldn’t be using this stuff to fill my time as much.

              The changes in the sorting method has helped, but I agree. I am not sure if it’s a sorting issue or content issue. However, I have blocked like 6 meme shitposting comms, because it was annoying as shit.

                I’m still getting a feel for how all of this works together, so I haven’t bothered blocking any communities yet. Were you just seeing those while browsing Local/All? I tend to stick to Subscribed unless I’m going adventuring for new stuff.

                I feel your pain. lmao. I haven’t blocked any, though. But during the beans shitposting period I almost blocked a few.

      I guess yes, it can be kind of biased indeed ^^ but interesting to hear your opinions anyway

        Yah unfortunately it feels like its even more of one than reddit is/was

        But I still plan on sticking it out here since reddit was kinda an addiction of mine that I’m glad to have broken
