What do you think is the biggest issue with Lemmy?

I may not understand how all this works but the very first page is mostly stuff that is 24 hours old or older. Maybe I am sorting it wrong or something but looking for the latest news is not easy. There should be a way from things that are older than 24 hours to fall off the front page. Also something like reddit enhancement suite would be nice.

As everyone has pointed out, people and content. Its good in some ways since not every post is drowned out with one thousand replies nobody will ever see, but at the same time, you're not getting much of anything at all sometimes. Not even very niche ones either. Even groups that represent entire states has limited info or replies still. If it can grow to that size and see some more unique and local content more I think even that would be a much better place for it to be.
Yeah the North Carolina community has 383 subscribers and the last post was 9 days ago.

I'm the main poster on [email protected]. Most popular post on the planet.
I guess people on Lemmy just don't like sports.
I'll subscribe, since it's about the real kind of football (the one that's played with your feet, and a ball. Not an egg, and your hands)
I've been trying to get into sports. Always enjoyed parricipating sports, never tried watching.

This is exactly why I don't use Reddit on the side. When I run out of content on Lemmy, there's no choice but to do something productive instead. Had to go 100% cold turkey on Reddit to make that work though.
Summer was not meant for being productive.

You can switch to "Top of 6h", "Top of 12h", or "New comments"

Duplicated fragmentation

It's a reply to your comment about downotes. The point of votes is to rank threads, and the point of ranking threads is to promote cogent comments and avoid irrelevance, misinformation, and malice. I do this in real life and I do it here.
And I'd say this is your convenient retrofitting of an optimistic rational theory onto what is in fact almost always much simpler and more brutish: "I had a negative response to this because it contradicts my beliefs and gave me cognitive dissonance", regardless of its objective merits. You must know this. Anyway, we'll agree to disagree.

You're definitely projecting your own opinion of the matter here. You're not debating anything by simply repeatedly denying their view and restating your opinion.
Now please, if you want to actually discuss it, respond to their points about how many sorting schemes do not factor in votes. Respond to anything except the parts you simply want to deny.
You're clearly getting engagement despite being downvoted, so this very discussion is proving your opinion ignorant and rather dogmatic.
I'm getting downvotes because people don't like being told they're behaving obnoxiously. That's all. I didn't downvote you or anyone else. I respect all of your opinions.

I don’t consider anything I’ve heard so far to be the kind of evidence that would indicate what I said is somehow false.
Obstinance should not be confused with confidance.

No, you're getting downvoted because you're only responding to the parts of posts that you want to completely deny instead of engaging with other details.
Now, either continue to prove my point that you're either bad faith or immature to the point of lacking self awareness, or respond to the other points made like how several ways to sort don't even factor in votes like the default "active" or new comments, etc, or how some people actively seek out the controversial posts.

The negatives of a social site combined with the negatives of an unpopular social site.

Yes yes, I take the point about the sorting-algo choices and karma absence and so on. I acknowledged it in another comment.
My fundamental point (which you are ignoring) concerns the motivations and incentives for downvoting. My contention is that downvoting thoughtful and well-expressed opinions is always (always) toxic and unhealthy. Others don't see it that way. So be it.

I think the parent comment is talking about piefed the software, compared to Lemmy the software, not the specific
piefed.socialinstance they're posting from.That would explain. But that comment is in answer to the top-level comment about the lemmy.ml instance.

I have trouble finding um what are they called here... Communities?... for the subjects I'm interested in. When I search, all I find is old posts or unrelated posts.
That's my biggest problem

The developers of the Lemmy software are the admins of the lemmy.ml instance and are problematic. The complaint is that the software itself can't be separated from the priorities of the .ml instance.
Piefed doesn't have the same issue, even if the flagship instance federates with .ml

Where is this option? I looked everywhere and can't seem to find it.

I don't change my views because people bully me for them. I change my views when someone demonstrates to me that they're worth changing and that haven't happened in this thread. What ever convincing arguments you may have seen clearly have not been convincing to me.
