jae@reddthat.comtoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE**
1·
1 year agoI was going to say the same thing. I’ve been doing what others recommended (sorting by Top for last X hours) and I see so much about Twitter & Reddit, and to make it worse, reposts of the same link that got upvoted a lot in different communities. I really wish there were a way to filter these posts out in the Lemmy settings (like Mastodon filters), because I’m tired of seeing the same rehashed discourse about those platforms over and over again…
Not even about Man v Bear, but just seeing all the casual misogyny on Lemmy is extremely exhausting to me. It’s so clearly obvious that Lemmy as a whole is dominated by men. There are no spaces here for women. It’s why I still frequent Reddit, because at least there are communities there that are more diverse. I really want Lemmy to take off more, but I just don’t get enjoyment out of this platform, after the initial hype died off.
Anyway, I’m really glad you posted this, OP. I think it’s incredibly important to foster a diverse community. Unfortunately the diversity just isn’t there, and I’m unsure as to how to help that. As it is now, I can’t recommend Lemmy to my other friends who identify as women.
