That’s what I’m struggling with. X is awful, Reddit is awful, tumblr is awful, and I can’t think of a 4th established platform that fills the nich. This is the closest, which is why I am here.
The funniest part to me is he’ll share a meme or comic and 90% of the time I actually saw it on Lemmy first, lol. Only exceptions are super niche. Basically if it’s viral there, it’s viral here.
Something that became very obvious to me when Shorts became so popular - the mega platforms have an endless supply of low quality content they can keep feeding you so long as you keep coming back. The actual good stuff should only last the typical person 30-60 minutes per day, if you spend longer than that, you’re mostly looking at lazy slop.
So yeah the good stuff that does well on Reddit/X, also does well here. But there’s less content so it’s easier to feel like I “ran out”, but in a good way. I ran out of low quality time wasting slop.
