It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.
4 times the same post in 4 different identically named communities…
I want a global feed, communities can federate with in a sort of sub-lemmy.There is a lot of computing and a lot of politics, but not very much else.
The extremist idiots. Entire lemmy.ml is incredibly disgusting bunch of losers.
Came here to say “Tankies”, but you seem to have it covered.
I have a question: for those of us who aren’t tech-savvy, is there a way to get away from the Material Design UI? As a designer, I absolutely hate it! I tried playing around with the settings but it still looks too Google-ish for me. I find it boring, rigid, and oldfashioned. When I open the app, I don’t feel ‘excited’ to browse through the app. I want to feel compelled into clicking a button, upvoting/downvoting, sending a reply comment, and so on. I think if the UI was made to look more fun, it would attract a lot more users. Part of the experience of an app is the appearance and interactivity.
The total lack of concern for easy on boarding of newbies. There’s a lot of big talk about taking on social media monopolies but absolutely no interest in coordinating to actually accomplish that goal.
I don’t like that it’s basically Reddit. people from Reddit came here and they act like it’s Reddit and it’s basically Reddit
Tankies
not enough users and content
Real people man. REAL PEOPLE!!!
No particular complaints regarding the people or topics, but I wish we could do more than just up or downvote a post. In other online communities you can 🤣, or ❤️, or even 🤡 a post and that makes the experience much more enjoyable IMO, lol.
I think piefed allows that and you can interact with all lemmy posts.
I’ve been hearing a lot about this piefed business, time to check it out in earnest, maybe. 👍
People complaining about not enough variety when they don’t post in those niche communities they talk about
The topics aren’t as varied here, reddit pretty much has a subreddit for any niche community you can imagine.
I like the community more here though. People are generally supportive and there seem to be fewer unrestrained jerks.
there seem to be fewer unrestrained jerks
I wish. I’d say it’s proportionally about the same.
Anytime any question about age of consent comes up there’s a lot of really creepy responses. Really really creepy.
That a lot of people can’t help themselves but read way more into the comment than it’s actually saying. I can’t count the times I’ve had to be so explicit and airtight for those bottom feeders to get it.
Can’t completely delete a post or comment.
