I mean I’ve been posting Moldy Memes on the memes page. Mainly just to share my ancient saved stuff, and to help boost the meme page up with more posts. I do understand the frustration, but hopefully more, active users will come around.
I would assume so. But I see quite some organic content as well, with good interactions in the comment sections. I’m pretty happy. 90% of what was on reddit was of no interest to me as tends to be the case with any large content aggregator.
My feed has zero memes (except those form [email protected] which obv do not qualify as “low effort”). I think unlike with Reddit, what you see if what you subscribe to. If you don’t like what you’re seeing, change your subscriptions. Not having Reddit force stuff into the feed is nice but it also means everyone is fully responsible for what they’re seeing.

This was also the case with Reddit, unless you intentionally went to /r/all? Or am I misunderstanding you?
To clarify I always used RIF or went to old.reddit and was never force-fed any content from outside my subscriptions, when I stuck to the home-page.

You make a good point, but I think here’s where the current downside of Lemmy comes in, discoverability between instances are pretty bothersome and not easily handled unless you again, go to your instance /all and check what other communities other people on the instance are subscribed to.
Over half my feed is just low effort memes or auto posted arstechnica articles. Does this data include bot posts?
Half the posts are also just people specualting about activity on lemmy.
Also, there is approximately 50% of postings reserved for whinging about the speculation of activity on Lemmy.
That makes just about 100% then.

Don’t forget all the updates about what’s going on at that other site.

Yeah it’s quite a game of whack a mole to get rid of all those memes subs and their bot content… it’s actually worse than on reddit it seems.

Unless you were using old.Reddit, there is a lot of inserted and suggested content now.
Half the posts since yesterday are people bitching about Sync ultra costing the same amount of money as a Costco hotdog combo once a month. 🙄
