what fediverse services do you use
and why do you use the fediverse
and maybe optionally do you think that peertube is good
mine: i use lemmy and mastodon and i use the fediverse because i want to help open source not for the big platform’s being bad
Yeah, there’s an even lower barrier of entry for bots on a federated model, by design. And people on here are definitely less nice than on reddit, the vibe is generally negative: most posts are rants, complaints or bad news. I miss the cat pictures sometimes.
That’s a gewd kedi right there. Had to give up my cat 4 months ago, though fortunately one of my sisters was able to take her in so I still get to see her sometimes. Going to go upstairs and pet the cat of the sister I’m staying with seeing this.
That’s an interesting experience. Sometimes I feel like my feed has too many cat pictures.
Here’s a cutie I bet you don’t see every day everywhere you go…
Maybe it’s my feed. My front page never has relevant posts, no matter how I tweak my subscriptions, so most days I end up just browsing “all” sorted by most upvotes.
I mostly browse all as well. But one thing to try, is blocking communities and users. Block US news communities and you’ll find a lot less bad news. When you see people acting in bad faith in the comments, have a quick browse of their profile to see if they are usually like that, then block them if they are.
There aren’t that many users on Lemmy, and there are even fewer users that actually post and comment. You may find it’s the same ones over and over, and blocking them helps.
Now on to your more pressing problem. Presumably you’re seeing content from !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, sorting by top in the last day I can see three memes with cats: https://programming.dev/c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone?dataType=Post&sort=TopDay
But the real action is here: https://programming.dev/c/cat@lemmy.world?dataType=Post&sort=New
There are like 20 posts in the last few days, most of them with plenty of upvotes.
