  • I mean… What? That’s kind of exactly what’s happening in lemmy communities

    Indeed I can understand this one. I’m really liking Lemmy but discoverability is pretty bad, add the fact the ranking is removed and pretty useless in suggesting interesting content and you will understand his point.

    Reddit has both much more content and not only a better ranking system but also a functioning personalized algorithm, if you want to use it.

    To this day, all of the non mainstream Lemmy communities I’m following it’s because I’ve used to follow the subreddit and it migrated here.

    I tried to use mastodon but I feel that microblogging inherently require some centralization, it’s impossibile to find people to follow and the feed is always a mess with bunch of stuff that doesn’t interest me.

    On the contrary I’m using Lemmy since a while and it works much better for content discovery, communities act as a"human algorithm" the same way they work on Reddit and it help much with the federation approach.

    What I arrived to realize is that some form of social media are more adaptable to the fediverse.

    For example, I hardly see any decentralized version of TikTok
