I am changing the way I use my phone. Today I sat in front of the computer and wanted to do something cool on the internet, like in the time before insta/fb/reddit/lemmy doomscrolling. I couldn’t think of any website and took a bath instead, thinking of all the older websites where you had a chatwindow, forums and such.
They’re all gone by now, aren’t they?
All the forums I was on aren’t really active anymore as the user base changed substantially and admins changed. I miss the forum days. 90% helpful and only 10% BS. Now it’s the opposite on social media.
Not all forums are ghost towns. Maybe the ones you went to years ago but active ones are still out there, just keep looking.
Maybe I’ll go looking for some again since lemmy doesn’t have many subs I can relate to and don’t have any new content for weeks.
What specifically cant you find on lemmy?? I’ve been able to find almost everything im interested in here. If not, make your own instance ! Thats how we grow
The communities exist, but there are no people in them. 1 person per month active is not a community. So most of the communties even on lemmy.world are barren. It’s pretty much just politics, memes, and linux stuff that stays active enough to be interesting.
Yeah Lemmy sort of sucks tbh.
