I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it’s nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I’ve learned so much there.

    As much as I like the interface and idea of lemmy, I think the content traffic is not enough for me… and keep going back to reddit :/

      I spent an unhealthy amount of time on Reddit. Getting bored of Lemmy is a feature, not a bug. Embrace it.

        Yeah it’s pretty amazing that there’s kinda no algorithm, you just see what you subscribe to in chronological order

      In some ways that’s a pro for me! I like that Lemmy isn’t endless content that changes when I refresh unlike Reddit. It helps keeps me off my phone XD

      But yeah I can see how that’s a con as well.

      That’s simply a matter of numbers. More people = more content, but people can’t seem to get past the fewer content so they don’t join/stay.

      Same. And it’s not just the amount of content.

      The amount of times I’ve had a reply with someone obviously trying to be pedantic and argumentative saying “define common thing” is off the charts.
