Give it time. People who are joining lemmy/kbin for the first time are incredibly interested in disussing this particular topic. I think by the end of July, we’ll truly start to see this community take shape.

All your posts are about Reddit. Be the change you want to see. I’ll be there to upvote it.

It’s a fresh subject so people are still hyped around it. Plus it’s drama, it’s fun! I often joke that we’re watching it burn and eating popcorn.

But even if you ignore it, there’s a fair bit of activity in other communities. For example I’ve been posting somewhat often about food, linguistics, anime, manga, and stuff like this. (And even explaining what an “axion” was supposed to be, while seeing illegally smol cats in another comm.)

Stop using “All” “Hot/Active/Top” feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to “Subscribed”.

For me that is not necessarily the case. Over the last week or so, I have been using sites like Lemmy Explorer and Lemmy Community-Browser to find communities that have my interest. I have also been browsing ‘all’ using the ‘new’ sort option and have been finding many new interesting communities that way.

It’s about subbing to anything in your wheel house and sorting by new. That’s the only way it made since before the migration and still does. At some point it wont make much sense, but not quite yet.

You can always block the reddit-specific communities to remove them from your feed. At least temporarily, if nothing else.

Personally, I wanna hear about reddit, so I subbed to them, but I’m subbed to A LOT of other stuff too, so my feed is more than diverse enough for me.

Okay, I’ll call your bluff. I recently started a magazine called Old Games 4 Old Gamers. It’s got everything to do with video games and nothing to do with the Reddit implosion. If you want original content on Kbin, it’s a good place to start. (Also, I could use the hits.)

Mate we’re all a bunch of overly excited kids with a cool new toy, once we’re all here for a few weeks and the magic wears off these threads will die down, just give it time and let people have about their new toy

Try joining more niche communities: This stuff will be all over the general/meme comms for a while as reddit continues to melt down.

You need to subscribe to some communities/magazines and contribute on them. Reddit news is getting upvoted the most because it matters to everyone on here, whereas content related to some niche community only matters to that niche community. There are already lots of great conversations happening in the fediverse of Lemmy and Kbin, they just can’t compete with Reddit news for the front page.

Honestly, just give it time. I’ll stabilise eventually.

In a way this is the opposite of what you’re asking, but this is kind of the reason I set up https://lemmit.online - To allow people to get quality content like !itookapicture@lemmit.online automatically onto Lemmy.

Anyone can request subs to be synced, and admittedly, not all of those requests make sense, since it doesn’t sync comments. But the goal is to bootstrap content creation / combat people returning to reddit because they miss content there.

So unsubscribe from these places that you don’t find interesting, and sub to things you’re interested in instead. Literally that simple.

It’s like rain on your wedding day
