  • Probably because beehaw aggressively defederates from any annoying instances.

    I would say Lemmy and the lemmy apps are currently set up to funnel as many users into any communities as possible, because there are so little people on here.

    I usually browse rising (of all communties I haven’t blocked) so there is enough content. I imagine many people are doing the same.

    The only fixes I see is when 1) Lemmy gets more users, 2) defederating aggressively or 3) heavy moderation or 4) having “high effort” barriers to posting in communities (for example: must have X much karma or write a message to the mods to post).

    All my experiences on the privacy communties were that 10x more people from outside comment and are angry that I want more privacy. Which kind of defeats the point of communties. At the moment communities act more like topic tags that categorize posts, not as real communities.

    Lemmy is pretty good for what it is, but it needs many changes to survive into the future, to operate more like how it was intended.
