I too think the same way. I purposely stay away from all due to excessive doom and gloom. However I haven’t really found any topic specific instance where I would enjoy local content. Now I think finding interesting topic specific instances is a problem whose solution I haven’t found yet. Communities I can find using search function; I even created an account on lemmy world simply to find obscure communities I would be interested in. I wish there would be a simple search function to find topic specific instances.

Obviously this is just in initial research phase, very far from being unleashed on nature. It would be interesting to see how this research progresses.

That makes sense. For me, I am very sure about what topics/communities I am interested in; other things I am not interested in checking out. My subscribed field takes up the time I allocate to lemmy anyway.

I never browsed all on reddit all the years I was on it.

As a a casual lemmy user with accounts on a few instances, I can say that I never visit the local or all fields of any of my logged in instances. I only visit my subscribed field, which is identical over all my accounts. How much do the local and all fields really matter for users?

Truly it was a most beautiful and inspiring story.

Great. This is so useful.

Yes, it’s like people are interested in getting their word out rather than reading other people’s stuff. Still I like that I have a chronological feed which I tweak slightly by muting users whose content I don’t care for and the best thing is that I can browse by hashtags. Without this I wouldn’t have got interested in Mastodon in the first place.

So buying a smart TV and connecting it with streaming box/stick for accessing streaming services does seem to be the best solution.

OK that makes sense. I have been using Mastodon for about a few weeks and one thing I have noticed is that most of the posts seem to have almost no comments or any other interaction. I have not yet been able to work out why. Mastodon has way more users than lemmy and also way more content. Then why so less interaction. Is it too many users? Too few users? Completely different platform? I have never used Twitter so can’t even compare with that.

Curious to know why it wouldn’t be a positive thing to get Mastodon people in the comments?

I too miss using my windows phone. I loved it while I used it. I still use it sometimes as a music player. I use a windows style launcher on my android phone. I find it very convenient and productive to use.

Thanks for the report. It was very interesting.

Super dramatic aren’t they lol!

I started by just following a bunch of hashtags and my feed was already quite interesting. Over the next few days I started following a few people who seemed to consistently post content that I found interesting.

Hashtag? I couldn’t find any? Where’s it?

That’s an interesting take. I like it. Good it doesn’t focus on technical aspects but explains using a simple, relatable analogy.

I mostly use GSMarena to compare features and check out reviews of shortlisted phones on amazon and youtube. Kimovil looks interesting. Will try it out next time.

Commenting from infinity which I installed from izzyondroid. When will eternity be available there? I checked but couldn’t find it
