I hope more communities like this pop up so I can stop searching google for “best x reddit” and start using “best x lemmy”

product recommendations from real people are invaluable now because of all the garbage sponsored articles and AI generated fluff, or search engine optimized pieces that don’t feel trustworthy.

Those sentences seem unfinished. It’s more like:

“What if there was less censorship (but only on people I agree with)?”

“What if there was way more censorship (but only on people I disagree with)?”

You can also navigate to the start of a line with HOME, and the end of it with END! Pair with SHIFT to select text from your current cursor position to the start or end of a line.

I’m loving that some small teams also manage to make products better than AAA firms in terms of performance. BattleBit has been a blast to play with 127v127 players, and it runs so well. I know the graphics aren’t as intense as other games, but that takes a backseat for me when the game has practically no performance issues and is satisfying to play.

It's neat, though I still have mixed feelings about how to choose which communities to follow. There are many duplicates, and I feel like if I don't subscribe to ALL of them, I could be missing out, but then it increases the chance that I'll see many of the same post (e.g., for a news community).

Content discovery is a bit more work. On Reddit, I never really subscribed to things or sought anything out in specific beyond just using All and scrolling, because it had a nice mix of everything. Here, it seems I'll have to do a bit more work and seek out the type of content I want to see, especially if a user on my instance hasn't already discovered something I care about.

It's also more work to choose an instance. Some instances might block what I want to see, so it's possible I will need multiple accounts.

Overall, I think with some more users and more communities, those gripes will largely go away as some communities in certain instances might become more dominant.

I'm mostly just happy to not see ads, and to know there's not some nefarious company running the service.
