I start with my subscribed top 6 hour, then move to all, and often go to top 1 hour or new because I open Lemmy more than once every 6 hours.
Occasionally I'll head over to active, that's mostly when I want to read lots of comments
As a not-that-tech savy person who is looking at getting back to using Linux (it's been 5 or so years since I was running Ubuntu, I dual booted for awhile but WFH generally has made me Windows only) this sounds like a distro I would enjoy
Comcast is always terrible for me. (Recent got a fiber company into our neighborhood and couldn't drop them fast enough) Waiting for like 45 minutes, getting somebody who can't do anything, often having the call dropped. It's not technically the fault of the employees, although they chose to work as such a terrible company, but they're just given like 1% of an ability to do anything to help anyone.
I mean, it's the low hanging fruit content. It gets done engagement, some amount of almost nostalgia, but doesn't require much work to post. It's not the end of the world, it just comes in larger volumes and takes up quite a bit of "all". Honestly blocking some of those communities would probably work well to clean up your all feed if you wanted.
There a few things that we just haven't crossed the threshold for yet that I found engaging (if not "addictive") at Reddit, several of which were live threads about an event (NFL/NBA/Soccer/F1/etc). We're not big enough here for that yet, where Mastodon is (you can get awesome interaction on hashtags about topics while they're happening).
The other thing was when a post got popular you could scroll through hundreds of comments with at least some thought behind them, and here it's more like 10-25. The content is often better here, there is just less of it.
Which is fine for me, it's just a slightly different experience than I was having at Reddit, but I think some of those things will come with time.
Yeah... But are they sure those using 3rd party apps aren't the primary people making and moderating content?
That is the part of this that doesn't make sense to me, they're cutting off what makes it easier to make the free content that is their product
I interpret this as really "people want to go back to a time before income inequality had ramped up as much as it has" but in their minds the overall feeling that the US is worse now for the non-elites is associated with other things
