Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

EDIT: I know there are upvotes and downvotes, but the problem with Reddit is you can't post in most communities if your karma or reputation is bad. This is a big problem because herd mentality prevails there and if ypu have unpopular opinions you're basically censored.

Lemmy isn't designed to milk ypur dopamine with notifications every 10 upvotes, so you focus more on posting valuable cont instead of farming for approval and upvotes.

Seems like a not so good way to me, and thats why people are complaining.

You can just look through the communities and sub to good ones.

Maybe it would be helpful to use ALL with scaled sorting. It boosts smaller communities.

I gave up using all on reddit a very long time ago, and Lemmy is basically the same.... But at least on Lemmy you have scaled sorting to try and help.

Or just…browse all and then block communities you don’t want to see. Most stuff I block is furry shit. Nothing against it, I just don’t want to see it.

For what it's worth I generally agree with you, and especially think the people who treat /all as their own personal feed are nuts, but nonetheless it's something that some people do 🫠

Everyone has their own preferences about how to use things!

I usually doomscroll all. on reddit, i used to sub to subs, but on lemmy, because it's quite small, I just use all.
