Memes

Sorry bud, didn't mean to come off as salty. It just doesn't bother me that much because it's my choice how to curate my own feeds. My view isn't that some service needs to prove itself to me as much as I know what I am looking for in a service/community and it's not a "prove it" type thing as much as paying attention to how communities work and accepting that it is different than I am used to. I personally don't see why it's worth complaining about, is all. Especially when it's so simple to adjust the feed to my own liking by dropping communities that overwhelm others.

Change isn't a bad thing, and neither is constructive criticism, but that criticism would probably make a lot more sense in the asklemmy community or some other community that is about improving the site, not just a random meme shitpost the developers and admins won't see. Complaining about it here doesn't seem like it will do much except bother the people who are actually enjoying the site. Your experience of not liking it is not universal, I'm sorry to say.

i understand your point. at the moment lemmy is pretty young, but i see it as a process. At the moment i think lemmy is acquiring new users. since i do not have any significant hobbies or knowledge to share, i thought i will do my part in lemmy's growth by creating something and uploading it. i do think lemmy will gain some traction and a lot of new communities will florish over the next weeks and months. I guess we all need some time to get used to this new experience.

I love the way people interact with each other on lemmy. Seems to me like a lot less toxic environment. Let's hope it stays that way.

I dont think they were hostile, just matter of fact. You'd get a similar recommendation over at reddit. You have control of your feed.
