I really like Lemmy so far, but sometimes my feed is just invaded by old facebook memes.
Or post new content. I see lots of posts about people bitching that there isn't enough content they like, but few of them posting any content.
Because you subscribe to communities that are full of old memes and/or because you browse 'all' instead of your subscribed feed.
As to why the wider Lemmyverse has too much of that sort of stuff, it's because a lot of people are trying to recreate Reddit instead of building something new. Or because they're trying to kickstart the something new by posting plenty of content and, inevitably, much of it is old.
Post stuff you want to see. Engage with stuff you want to see.
I mean, it's the low hanging fruit content. It gets done engagement, some amount of almost nostalgia, but doesn't require much work to post. It's not the end of the world, it just comes in larger volumes and takes up quite a bit of "all". Honestly blocking some of those communities would probably work well to clean up your all feed if you wanted.
Yeah, I need to move off of all and start curating a subscription list. Before hexbear was federated there wasn't any need.
You can block the meme communities, then you won't see those posts in your feed.
I sort of enjoy seeing the ones I had forgotten about.
It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it
