I wouldn’t be on Lemmy at all if I hadn’t been randomly banned on reddit without any reason given and they instantly denied my appeal asking what rule I broke.
There are none of the many game specific subs I would frequent on Lemmy. Even if a sub does exist for one of the games I play it has 2 users and the last post was made by a bot about an update from 3 months ago with zero comments.
The porn is worse and somehow even more filled with bots not labeled as bots. Lately I have seen a lot of very clearly bots just spamming porn from reddit subs as links to the reddit which just seems comical.
The general userbase on Lemmy seems to mostly contain people from a pretty specific band of the political spectrum and they are extremely hostile to anyone that even sorta varies from their mindset.
My reddit account was like 12 years old and have hundreds of thousands of post and comment karma on it. I still have no idea why it was suddenly banned with no way for me to contact any human about it.
Lemmy just doesn’t have the same communities I frequented and there is no fix for that other than waiting until there are so many users that eventually that niche group I used to converse with daily finds their way over here.
I’m not mad at Lemmy for not being exactly like reddit, but it just doesn’t scratch the same itch that reddit did because of it’s smaller size and lack of populated niche groups.
I see posts on the “everything” page on Lemmy from the same handful of people which makes it feel like it’s really just a site for those 5 or 6 repost machines to post their stuff 24/7.
I play a lot of games that arent like SUPER big so the subreddits tended to be smaller, but at least there were people to talk to about the game and the updates. Like Hunt showdown. There is a sub on Lemmy but its basically a ghost town.
I looked for a couple other games I was playing at the time and none of them had subs or if they did they were dead.
Nothing against Lemmy. It isuy doesn’t have the user volume required to fill out those more niche communities.

That makes sense
