Eh, I'm more into tentacles and whatnot.

Still, we were talking about seeing stuff by default, not by looking it up.

And the thing about Lemmy and having to look up stuff that you don't see by default is that once you find it it turns out to be the same dozen or so posts you found the last time you looked. And the previous one. And the one before.

In the most tragic cases you can see a user posting stuff for a week or two around the time of the Reddit API exodus, hoping to attract other lemmings interested in the same stuff so they'd post their own... and slowly losing hope until they stop. It's fucking sad.

Don't get me wrong, Lemmy is still far better than Reddit is now, and orders of magnitude more alive if you don't count the bots (Reddit is more alive in the sense that a decomposing corpse full of maggots is more full of life than the poor critter was before dying, except the maggots are bots, which aren't alive at all), but it's far from what Reddit was before it killed itself, let alone when when it was good.

Also, holy necromancy Batman... this thread was about a month old..!
