  • I don’t mind the YouTube algorithm cause at least I still have the choice. With TikTok or shorts I have to actively scroll to not watch something. So I let the algorithm give me new stuff on youtube, but it tends to focus on one or two areas at a time. So if I want to see more gardening in my feed I use my sub feed and watch a few gardening vids and presto old vids from channels I’m subbed to and new vids from new channels or cool one offs from the algorithm.

    But I don’t like my sub feed because I have such varied interests and moods I’m not interested in 60% of it at any one time.





  • The search sucks, but I’m used to that from reddit. I subscribe from the all feed and that works well.

    I think it worked for me because I just had faith (or confirmed) that stuff was working. People threw their hands up because some subscriptions said pending, but it showed up in my subscribed list so I ignored that it said pending.


  • Worse come to worse I’m here for a good time not a long time.

    Like if an instance like lemmy.world gets too big and fails I’ll probably head to another instance like kbin.social. If it starts a failure cascade people will leave for traditional social media or just leave social media entirely until federation can support it.

    Maybe I end up leaving for another social media site, or I just watch youtube and no real social media or something. Whatever happens I’m here while I’m here.
