Lemmy is small and still somewhat insular, so certain topics tend to get more content than others. You can solve that issue by blocking what you don’t want to see (by community or by user), and most importantly: participate by posting content yourself.

We don’t have anywhere near the amount of users that you can treat this place entirely like reddit and just expect the content to just come to you.

Edit: Also, if you don’t like how a community is run here, there’s most lilely another version of it on another instance with different community mods. There’s a ton of “ask lemmy” communities out there if you don’t like lemmy.ml’s moderation style.

The tradeoff for no ads and no corporate incentives is that you have to put in just a little bit more personal effort to curate the experience you want.

i feel like each sentence of that was less coherent than the one before. you should keep going, get weirder with it, see where you end up.

LOL

The oligarch running my instance is the greatest person in the universe. I would do anything for them!

Uh, what?
You’re writing this as if each instance is run its own oligarch.

@thedude@sh.itjust.works Can you confirm that you’re secretly filthy rich and that you’re funding the instance to push your agenda? Or any agenda? (No I’m not serious, in case there’s any doubt.)

I don’t get your point. Can you try to explain it again?

Be the change you want to see in the world. Post some original content, comment on posts, add value.

Bro needs to selfhost at some point.
