I like that when someone creates a community, It usually just becomes a diary for them being able to post what they wanna see, I think we could all be nicer to each other in these trying times

Edit: damn y’all, don’t just say the bad thing you gotta say a good thing too

    I think the biggest flaw lemmy has is the upvote/downvote system, same as on reddit. The arrows are used as an agree/disagree indicator, which buries unpopular opinions and rewards popular “low-risk” ones, thus creating the same echo-chambers we’re all so tired of.

      Some instances disable downvotes for this reason (so when using a client only upvotes are used).

      You can also use the scaled filter to see more niche things that may have been buried otherwise.
