    Haha I was just trying out the Stealth client and saw those posts.

    And, um… What’s wrong with that exactly? Seems like useful debates. I took a peek at the movie opening one.

    Look at Lemmy top posts for hour/Xhours/day, and it’s nothing but memes.

      Zero desire to answer a likely machine generated generic question that’s been answered a 1000 times before only for my comment to get lost in 10000 other likely machine generated answers. At least that’s how I view these posts, a waste of time. I dislike when I see a new community on Lemmy that is trying to echo this model.

        It’s the “most popular” from all around the world, of course it’s gonna be generic. It’s either this stuff, or more Ukraine war, or memes.

        Nothing is preventing you from scrolling down, or switch to different sorting, or watch specific subs… Honestly, going to the Hot section, and expecting something suited to your specific tastes, and being upset that it’s too generic - that’s pretty ironic.

            Yea it was more typically a cesspit of insults and weird porn. This is an improvement.

            But again I don’t see why it matters. If you browse /all, you get what you get. The cheap garbage on YouTube’s Hot is much worse.
