On the Lemmy specific front, Active daily users seems to still be stabilising following the exodus from elsewhere, Comments and Posts both seem to be on the rise though – promising stats all in all.

    Its not as good as it sounds. There should be some kind of sorting. I follow #food but I get low-quality content of any random user taking a picture of their refrigerator at the top of my feed just because they posted 1s ago.

        You can, but the feeds that are supposed to help you find people to follow in the first place are important, and Mastodon’s are awful.

            Bluesky does it the best. It supports community made custom algorithms, so I use a Discover feed to find people I like.

            No, I’m talking about the hypothetical algorithm that fills a page with things you might be interested in. Twitter has it (even though it’s not necessarily good), even Reddit these days has some of that, it’s a feature in most social media websites and sometimes quite a useful one, and Mastodon just lacks it altogether.

      Do you follow many people? I used to have that issue when I first signed up and was just looking at my entire fedirated feed. Since paring it down to local or follows only, it’s a lot nicer while retaining some of that cozy vibe that I like.
