Better then reddit in what way? UX? Sure. Lemmy is better than reddit. The memes are better and fewer bots are better. But unless you’re into tech and politics, lemmy doesn’t have content for you.
Your first 3 are what I’m talking about and I’m into politics. You’re on an instance that has probably been algorithmed out of getting things to the front page too. lemmy-world has a lot of control over what users see because they’re so big.
You have to go looking for places to subscribe. Once you do that, you’ll start seeing more, not reddit amounts, but some of more of what you like. I still don’t know how to link across instances, but these have places.
Preach. I just migrated here and found a disturbing lack of casual communities with any real activity. A real bummer because I miss the old internet and figured this could replicate it. Still, if you build it, they will come. Maybe it’s a user count issue.

Every now and then there are big posts of best communities to recommend. We’re probably due for one because I’m noticing a small migration.
Also, you might not have gone through your reddit withdrawal yet. It takes a couple of weeks, but this place isn’t as addicting.

Yep, be the change you want to see.
