This is not going to be a blogpost about “Why do people still use Reddit instead of everyone moving to Lemmy?”. I noticed that even with Mastodon users, who already understand and like the advantages of decentralized platforms, the usage of Lemmy is extremely small, and more people use Reddit. Most of them haven’t even heard of Lemmy. To be fair, the Reddit usage also seems to be fairly low.
When you signup on piefed.social it asks you something like “do you want to see posts about US politics?” And if you don’t want to see them, it gives you a filter that hides/dims posts that have “Trump” in the title lol it’s pretty effective. It’s configurable but the server admin so not every instance will have it, but they might have something similar.
