As an old timer from BBS/Gamespy era, if you don’t like the server, go somewhere else. At the same time, the server owner can do whatever they like to maintain their server AT THEIR OWN DESIRED PACE. Same for the FOSS projects and feature requests, if you are not satisfied, feel free to fork and do your own thing. I am very appreciated that the bot spam is getting taken care of even when viewing “All”, it does require some coordination between instances as well.

Side note: Social media is not your life, it’s meant for consume some boring time you have at hand while waiting for things.(like waiting for build, waiting for coffee, or waiting for your kids be released by school.) Server owners does now awe you anything, be appreciative and supportive. Before you say, “But…”, ask yourself one question: “When is last time you put some of your own free time to help others?”

I am like just fucking amazed by this lemmy+fediverse to even be exist as emigration options, every improvement come with time, so calm down and ride the waves.

Base on my couple hours of experience, nope, I don’t need that huge amount of unrelated content that I am not interested in. It does take sometime to customize and filter lemmy but it would be the same like early reddit anyway, won’t take long to tune it to what you like.

100% this, I know fediverse might have less content or discussion now, but I can see the potential. If a instance is too obnoxious, I can always just join another and block that instance if I choose to I think.

I read the join lemmy and instantly like this way better. The old days of bluesnews and slashdot finding stuff or instance to read, better and improved UI, but avoid of a centralized data centre that just want to gather/sell your data. How refreshing to not even require an email to register?
