    🙄

    Crushed. Lots lots more of over at reddit as well as a smaller percent reposting.

    Lemmys front page is a ton of bots reposting content from Reddit.

    Neither of the services have a lot of OC.

      It took a couple weeks but I’ve found that blocking some bot accounts and adjusting the sorting on the app I use has plenty of fresh content with active posts. It isn’t exactly the same as reddit in its prime, but I shouldn’t expect it to be either.

      It’s causing me to branch out into other topics and conversations that I probably would’ve missed on a gigantic platform like reddit. I think reddit made it easy to see interesting content because of how long it had to develop into a community. Lemmy is still a bit jumbled and fragmented, but the community seems to be sticking around and forming a new identity apart from reddit.

        Mind sharing which bots to block? Some bots are useful, so I’d rather not hide all bots.

      Yeah, turns out the lawless fediverse needs a few laws and a governing board.
