I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?

    If you mean the “how is your day going so far” type of posts, I don’t think those are meant to be deceptive so much as to generate engagement by placing the post into people’s subscribed feeds.

    But if you mean the same identical post, that’s not great - perhaps you want to unsubscribe from communities that do or even allow such practices.

      I love the little personal threads. Im not sure if they exist on other platforms but its one of my favourite things about lemmy so far.
