I wouldn’t say “shit” but rather niche. Most people who would love a Reddit-like place have Reddit and don’t hate it enough to switch, especially since we don’t have extensive hobby communities with long history.
Extremely focused on just a couple of topics like Linux, Communism, Star Trek, LGBTQ (nothing against Linux or LGBTQ though) variation is desperately needed
i am curious: since those topics make up such a large portion of the content i see on lemmy, do you find that you get a good number of posts to look through without them? i mostly browse all and find i can get through just about everything i’m interested in clicking on in like 30 minutes per day.
maybe it is just a symptom of how i browse the internet and my semi-niche interests, but i find the non-linux hobby communities here to be rather lacking. i know the solution is to post to them myself and i try to, but frankly i don’t have that much to post about. it also takes some willpower to keep posting to a 10 person community and get maybe a couple comments every few posts if i’m lucky, but that also could be that my posts aren’t very interesting lol
Hell no. It’s embarrassing as fuck to recommend Lemmy to anyone you know. It’s still fairly shit imo.

Yeah “shit” is somewhat of an exaggeration.
My problems with Lemmy are mainly:
I blocked most of those topics, then other stuff starts to appear

There is for instance
Those are a few ones that are nice and active
I’m so glad to know about the gardening community, I don’t garden but something about it is so peaceful and calming to me
