    I think its because we aren’t allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I’ve been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don’t have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I’m too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren’t seeing a lot of content.

    Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.

      I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.

      But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.

      It’s starting to be clear that the whole ML - Leninism Marxism” was actually a big part of Lemmy.

      I’m a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don’t feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist

        Extreme leftist politics, memes, linux, a weirdly active Star Trek community (comparatively) and blocking furry/anime porn communities daily. That’s been my experience so far.

          How so?
