It seems like any platform that features link aggregation is soon overrun by bots and self-promoters trying to drive traffic, and pages and pages of link posts versus pages and pages of people talking.
Are there any lemmy instances or other defederated networks that focus on Q&A, niche communities, and people conversing, instead?
You might have to click the link twice, sometimes the first time the community isn’t found because you are the first one on your instance to search for it
One link that works: https://lemmy.radio/c/personalfinance@lemmy.ml
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !personalfinance@lemmy.ml
Now I think my client (Memmy) is wonky too, because it can’t follow any of these links! Will try the web UI.
