Since a lot of folks sort by “all” on Lemmy, popular posts get overwhelmed by people who don’t daily drive operating systems like iOS or MacOS.
I like outside perspectives and all, but when the majority of the “community” discussion is coming from people who aren’t even using these products, it is pretty hard to have informed conversations.
Moreover, I feel like this type of engagement creates a lot of threads that get pretty combative and catty. They’re often started by people who are trying to argue and convince iOS / MacOS users that they’ve picked the wrong side of the fence.
Anyone else feel me on this? I imagine this is a problem for other communities on Lemmy as well.
The problem is probably more that there’s so little content on Lemmy right now. That means most people are browsing /all, so you get more people that aren’t part of this community, and therefore more dissidents.
The c/Apple threads get seen by more people that aren’t necessarily interested in seeing it because they don’t get lost in the noise like they would on Reddit.
