I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days.

The tone and people on Lemmy is great. I don’t miss Reddit. But I miss the content types. For me Reddit was a topic related news source, a place for great discourse about those news pieces, a place where community members asked constructive questions or shared ideas/projects - and lastly a place for some very specific community types.

Over the last few days I noticed that the first 2 categories of content came over to Lemmy no problem. But the second 2 types I outlined above don’t seem to have come. I went back to Reddit this morning and it’s all still there. Certain types of posts just don’t happen on Lemmy, and on top of that many communities never came over (street_photography is a great example. They literally shut down a subreddit with thousands of users and created a new location in Lemmy/kbin, and instead of coming over the community just evaporated). Other communities are also non existent and some that do exist are simply just not enjoying the same types of posts. I like it here, I want to stay - but it’s difficult. Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks for hearing me out.

TLDR: all of my communities seem to link posts only, many types of posts just don’t seem to happen here.

    I will bounce in every week or so, but since I can’t use Apollo for quick, clean, ad-free, non-intrusive browsing, I get sick of it all pretty quickly.

    I am trying other sources for news. Someone mentioned GroundNews app, and it’s pretty nifty, even without going to pro version. I am also using The Guardian app more often.

    Even FB just sux so bad, I can’t stay on it for long.

    Except for the damn reels. Argh.

    Anyway, we all need to post more here, and also on other new playforms. Discuit is pretty cool.
