I would if lemmy was even close to an actual replacement.

Every study that ever comes out shows that memory is REMARKABLY fallible.

No matter how convinced you are that you remember those conversations perfectly, I encourage you to explore the idea that.... maybe you don't.

Sure I just don't know how to find communities, I was hoping browsing everything would reveal them to me but "everything top (6hrs)" is very limited in scope.

It took a decade to get a decent sub list for me on reddit. Trying to duplicate it on Lemmy doesn't work because communities are either tiny, duplicates (or moderates poorly so they may as well be duplicates, ie "news" "politics" and "us news" are just the same thing spamming the same articles), or non existent. I'd like a good sub list but it's a sort of 'where so I even start".

I've been using Sync and am planning on trying Lift off.

Anything that would consolidate the posts and threads would be a step in the right direction.

I usually browse "top (6 hour)" and if there is breaking news it's the first several pages it's awful.

 

How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a "prevent duplicates" option in any of the clients? I'm pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There's very little content that isn't "memes for teenagers" or "the same news you saw yesterday".
