I'm still confused how it works. I subscribe to a channel, but all it is is updates about the channel, no content. Looks like I need to go to their website to see the content (which doesn't seem right)
Have you taken a look at your instance's FAQ here? Other than that, there are numerous guides to getting set up with Lemmy and how to subscribe to communities on other instances. It's slightly different than Reddit, but apart from some technical details, everything works like Reddit once you're set up.
Because of the decentralized structure, there can be communities on the same topic on different instances (with different subscribers, moderation guidelines, etc.). Use the search to find communities you're interested in and post questions e.g. on the FAQ thread of your instance. Or right here of course.
Since most can't help on the technical side of things, you can really help with creating communities. Hopefully the scaled sort helps a lot of issues with smaller communities getting buried.
Content rate needs to go up, I agree, but the biggest source of content in comparable social media came from something I'd like to avoid: power users.
But please pump up good content. not just low effort re-posts.
It will be slower but I think we will get there.
I don’t think Lemmy will turn into “marketing platform” that Reddit is now . And I’m thankful for that!
As a lurker who doesn't post much:
Improve the quality of the platform. Fix the moderation issues. Find a solution to communities being fragmented across multiple servers. Keep improving reliability. And so on.
Need to find a new gallowboob. Better if it’s an actual group of users sharing the same id and pumping out quality content
A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions
