One of my issues with Lemmy so far is how meta it is.
Reddit is often meta, sure, but 60% of the content I'm seeing here (while browsing Everything) is about how much better Lemmy is or whatever app people are using to access it. Let's get back to shitposting, articles, and memes please. I want this platform to work and I don't think it will if this content continues.
Your problem is browsing Everything. There's a lot of content on Lemmy that isn't meta-posting - you just need to curate your own feed, like on Reddit.
Subscribe to some more casual places for a funner frontpage.
Thanks. On reddit when I was bored of my frontpage I'd go on /r/all to check out other subs and maybe subscribe if I liked the content. That has been my strat here and it isn't panning out so far. Looks like I gotta change it up.
