DMmeYourNudes

active is about what posts have a lot of comments recently.

hot is completely useless because its filled with content that’s less than an hour old with virtually no comments. its very poor quality content.

its not about the instances, those are actually hindering growth by dividing communities across instances and defederating them. lemmy is basically several copies of reddit in a trench coat pretending to be a social network.

we don’t need more memes, we need people to start going to the games, movies, shows, and hobbies they like and making posts.

until personal interest groups are populated people will not use this site. its basically 1 big meme sub right now with some tech and politics sprinkled on top.

Sharing torrents in a private group is a zero sum game. Ideally you have everyone with a 1:1 ratio but if some users go far above that they are taking ratio from other users who might be fully willing to provide upload, but simply didn’t get there in time. You can set torrents to close after they reach a specific ratio, but that also means bringing down the availability of that torrent.

Also, it’s much harder to get to a 1:1 ratio if you only download less popular content because no one will download it from you for a long while.
