    The main problem with Lemmy, is I see the same 20-50 posts for 3-4 days until there is a new front page…

    I fucking hate Reddit, but the front-page is always fresh, so I always end up going back…

      Sorting by top day and hiding read posts gives me more than enough “fresh content.” If you’re craving more, maybe that’s just the Reddit addiction.

      I find there is new content but so often a lot of it is US politics based. Some other stuff does exist but its hard to filter out the stuff I don’t care about at times.

      Sure I can subscribe to other communities, but finding them can be difficult and searching for all is swamped by Trump and Musk.

        It helps if you block all those communities you don’t care about. Or even block some instances.

          Sometimes you don’t want to completely block them though, just see something else right now

      The problem with Lemmy is that the demographic that uses it is too specific: nerdy, atheist, college educated (usually in computers) Gen X and early Millennial left-wing political hobbyists.

      Like, there’s a reason the one of the only specific media franchises that can sustain an active community here is Star Trek.

      Nah, Reddit front pages didn’t few fresh since 2021 for me, and recently it became worse by the bots posting the same post i saw 5-10 days early again.
