Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months? (lemmy.world)

I feel like things on Lemmy were pretty chill several months ago, and that’s started to change.

People used to talk each other like they would talk to a neighbor. Now I get the sense that people have become quick to be negative, attack, and not be constructive.

Am I crazy in feeling like the vibe has changed?

On a related note. Is there an Android Lemmy app that allows me to view my subs as a homepage? It's only local and all in Voyager.

Eternity has this, great app in general

[-] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

I'll try that as well. I landed on BaconReader (RIP) for the other site. Haven't found quite the same fit with Lemmy apps. Always down to try a new one though. Thanks!

You can set this up in Connect

I'll give that a look. Thanks

I have voyager and I have home, all, and local. Home being my subs. I don’t believe I’ve done anything extra to get the “home” option.

Cheers, thanks for the tip. I'll like around and see if it's a pebkac on my end.

Those ID-10T issues are the worst haha

I might as well have support escalate it. Obviously the UX and UI teams aren't overworked enough.

If you go to settings > General > Default feed do you see home there?

If you visit your instance on a browser do you have a home option?

Maybe for some reason your instance itself doesn’t have a home.

Good luck sorting it out!

That's absolutely where it was at. Thanks friend! Now I have a more curated approach and can avoid the stuff that makes me have global warming, totalitarian regime panic attacks. Haha

[-] ji17br@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Happy to help! Definitely much better for the mental health to avoid all the doom and gloom

Agree completely. I had a well curated feed on Reddit developed over years and years of careful pruning. I miss a ton of those communities and forgot what the open funnel of Internet sewage was like. Even just a few minutes on the front page of any social media network is enough to send me back to books and blogs. Lol
