A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've loked at my front page a few times, and man, it's pathetic. Literally just a bunch of useless askreddit and AITA threads. It's basically quora lol.
The repost bots are becoming a massive problem on the front page as well. Used to just be Gallowboob, now it's hundreds of bots endlessly reposting TikToks or Twitter screenshots and regurgitating comments. Hoping the application process on this site helps to mitigate that.
You‘re saying you don’t like seeing the same meme get posted 8 times in the span of an hour every few days?
I feel like that entirely depends on the subreddits you're subscribed to. For me I have an /r/WTF post at 13, and then not another default sub until... an /r/AdviceAnimals post at 47.
While I love Lemmy and will continue to contribute to it. My reddit experience feels very much the same as it always has. The key was to abandon most of the large subs a long time ago.
I bet NSFW fans won't notice anything.
I spend about 2 days gathering communities that I want to sub for and make sure they are subbed. Then starting yesterday I just need to click the subscribe tab and switch to "New" and there is usually ~10 new posts every 2 hours. I don't even visit the "All" or "local" tabs anymore. If I run into something I feel not enough, I will just search for the community instead of waiting for them to pop up in "All".
