    What do you think is more appealing?

    A subscribed feed with a few dozen posts about various meaningful topics with a few dozen comments, that were shared by an OP who cares about the subject, who replies to comments, and where there’s an actual community.

    Or

    A subscribed feed that’s flooded with hundreds of reposted memes by an OP who is essentially a bot, who doesn’t even know they (re)posted the memes and hardly any comments under the posts, because there are more posts than viewers.


    You don’t grow an user base by spamming so much garbage into it that it quenches every chance of a discussion and drowns out any posts about relevant topics.

    If I want an endless stream of copied memes with no community around it, I go to imgur.

      i don’t intend to run this myself. This is a browser extension that would be run by whomever wants to run it, I hope most likely people that are interested in a specific topic or a community that is underrepresented on lemmy.
      I believe limiting content to a usable amount is a problem that should be solved via lemmy UI or an app you are using, as opposed to artificially limiting content available on the platform.

      To me - my biggest problem with lemmy is severe lack of content. I sometimes refresh multiple times a day, and content is basically the same. This is a problem that hampers adoption, and we see how people flock back to reddit all the time - why? Because no content. This is a problem number 1 for lemmy and refuse to be gaslit and believe “no content no problem”, no matter how much reddit pigboi would want to push that narrative

        No, you don’t get to dictate what everyone else on Lemmy is going to get.

        You are not a savior, you are a spammer.

          I’m a hero. If you don’t want content, that’s up to you. But you are minority opinion I’m sure. Most of us want full wealth of reddit, just without reddit as a company

              Lololol. I know there are reddit plants on lemmy that intentionally there to dissuade and hamper content improvements. That’s ok. We’ll get so much content soon, everyone other than a couple weirdos will be much happier.

              You attitude and aggressive anti content stance is hard to understand for most people that are clearly trying to escape reddit. Yet you seemingly pushing them back to reddit - what is the logic?
