no and i'd struggle to recommend it. it seems to be mostly talking about being on the fediverse and hating other social media.. hopefully we'll get to a point where there's more discussion outside of just being here and why.
I had the same opinion about Lemmy until I took the time to find the same wide assortment of communities that I subbed to on Reddit. Now that there’s a wider variety of content to read, I don’t have that “please stop talking about the fediverse” thought anymore. I will say that tech and tech-adjacent communities on here are still really heavy on the meta discussions (i.e. as in posting on Lemmy about Lemmy—not about Zuck’s website).
i'm sadly finding communities with only one or two posts mostly, but i'm staying the course and i'm hopeful!
Hang in there! I highly recommend using something like https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search for communities. Lemmy (and most other parts of the fediverse) are a double-edged sword: you’re not being algorithmically fed content, so you’re able consciously curate what you devote your attention to, you’re not being surveilled for marketing, etc. However, because of this, it’s harder to accidentally find an interesting community because they’re not actively presented to you.
I just started using the search above to type in keywords of interest. I’ve found some established Lemmy communities I don’t think I would have stumbled across otherwise.
