Better search results on major search engines. Not gonna sit here and act like I know what I’m talking about but the major benefit of Reddit was being able to search a question and add “reddit” to the search and getting relevant results from years of posts.

I’d love to see lemmy reach that point as thats honestly been my only reason to open reddit recently

So much this!
It's really hard to find someone here who can engage in a healthy discussion, it's ad hominem over and over and over again (not even talking about downvotes, as I don't really care about those funny nunbers)..
And I really don't get it, is it Lemmy specific thing for some reason? Why? It's so absurd, that I think even /pol/ despite everything that is going on there has better discussion to noise ratio.. :/

Oh shit, this was supposed to go under a different comment, I don't know how did that happen 🤦

More articles...

There's really not that many news articles that get posted. But for some reason even people that comment a lot, don't seem to have any interest in posting articles.

There's like maybe 10 people who post the majority. I've blocked a lot of the meme subs, but I think it's the same there. Just a very tiny slice of an already small user base is actually posting stuff.

I feel like there's been a buig decline just in the last few months

Good insight. Shoutout to @[email protected], @[email protected], and people like you that post article links and join the discussion, even if there are things I don't agree with you on.

Bruh...

I mean this 100% sincerely, but good luck finding political articles different from what I've been posting.

There's hardly any articles out there praising Biden and saying we need to stick with him.

If I post articles, it's because there was nothing on Lemmy to read and I'm pulling articles off a handful of webpages I went to instead. Like, pretty sure 99% of my articles are from the AP...

There's just not really anything pro Biden out there anymore, which might be why less political articles are getting posted.

So seriously, you don't even have to post anything, but go look at some news sites and see how hard it is to find anything about Biden except pleas for him to stand down, or him saying he won't listen to anyone.
