“All I saw were people talking about strange topics only they understood with no engagement whatsoever, and the other posts were straight up anime furry porn left and right”

That? Right there? Is why I absolutely fucking hate the fediverse.

Not to mention the comments are posted FIRST and then the post? Makes no dam sense. Every one is just taking about whatever with no context.

There’s no topics or communities to follow. That’s what I’m into. I’m not into following 'people ’

Lemmy and kbin are gunna be your best option when it comes to being more reddit like. But lemmy bans just like reddit does.

That’s very vague, that could be anything though. Can you be more specific
