I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?
Your instance, lemmy.ca has blocked or defederated from a significantly high number of other servers. So that’s the reason
You may want to check the list of instances defederated by your PieFed instance out then as it may by much longer that on lemmy.ca…
I’m on the official PieFed instance and I am totally fine with their current defederation policy, because so far I haven’t corresponded with any trolls since the beginning of my account creation.
Quality over quantity:-D
Hmm, my original account is on .world, but I started using this alt because it got slow. Maybe I should try browsing new there and seeing if it makes a difference.
