i’d like for this too. i know a lot of people in general have pretty eclectic music tastes, but i only really like a couple genres, and would rather just be able to only listen to new music from those genres if possible

the content in larger subs has gotten significantly worse. like i said, i only really browse a niche hobby sub, and the content there has remained just as good as ever.

i think that most people here (myself included) really like that lemmy is so small, though i can see why it could feel like a problem to fix. it doesn’t have the advantages of infinite content like other services do, but the smallness means anyone here really wants to be here and is interested in discussion. it’s tight knit! i feel like people who actively want a reddit alternative have searched and already heard about lemmy, and i wouldn’t exactly want the general user base to be here considering how bad they can be haha.

what kind of content is there? memes mostly?

like i said, niche interest. i still browse reddit, but it really is only 1-2 subs i spend time on now, really just the one. as soon as battlejackets become an interest with my fellow lemmiers (??), i’ll be out- but that’ll probably never happen lol.

honestly. i’m still stuck to reddit because of the content only, and if i found a suitable alternative for that niche i’d finally be free to leave. i hate reddit- i hate the app, the “features”, the admins, all of that, but i LOVE the content itself

wtf this is actually true though 💀💀💀

man, i remember when the original of this came out. i was pretty young and thought jinx was SO cool, loved everything about her. i like this cover a lot :) thanks for bringing back good memories!

wait what 😅 context?

get scared has been one of my favourite bands lately. i’ve been loving their mix of singing and screaming, the singers voice, and the use of instruments like guitars and drums. i definitely prefer rock over other genres, so the instruments are super important to me as both a backboard for vocals and a catchy break between verses, and i think they do a great job of both.

the lyrical matter can be pretty edgy (for lack of a better word) at times, but most music i listen to tends to be like that anyway, and i don’t personally mind.

for anyone interested in more, i recommend Don’t You Dare Forget the Sun, Voodoo, and Suffer.

seconded! this one was excellent

all of spirit phone is really good! love neil’s stuff :)

hahaha i always think of him too when i hear them!

wasn’t expecting to like these as much as i did! taking back sunday is a band i’ve been meaning to look into for a long time, but have never really gotten around to. and blackwater holylight, while a little bit low energy for me personally, has a really lovely laid back sound that i like too!

your ghengis khan suggestion reminds me of this ghengis kahn which is a pretty different genre, but pretty catchy nonetheless

i like the melody, and while i see what they’re doing with the mix of a higher female singer and lower, more gritty male singer, i don’t think that works for me personally. i also tend to be really picky about singers’ voices in what i listen to haha :)

thanks for sharing!

thanks so much! this looks super awesome :)

hi, do you think you could walk me through how to download something like this or point me in the direction of a guide or something that could? i’ve been using lemmy just on browser but would be interested in something like this, i’ve just never installed anything like it before and don’t quite know what to do :) thanks!

i’d LOVE to switch from using Apollo for reddit to Artemis for lemmy tbh

yiiiiikes i definitely did miss that!

imo the novelty of john oliver will wear off soon, and people will want regular content again. so long as mods stay firm that regular content is not allowed, users will be dissatisfied and lower their engagement. though it’s not a perfect plan (people could just use different subs), it’s better than nothing
