MODERATORS
I’ve found it’s hard to get any Discord community together where chat messages are less than 60% reposted meme images. Someone will post an interesting thought, and then the next post is a single emote or a cat-related meme with a single word like “Udge”.

This isn't wrong, but shitposts bring people who meme which brings people who discuss. Have to get a strong user base before strong discussions really kick off.
I've been noticing that the number of discussions on the internet have been going down lately. Although maybe it's just me using social media less? lol
Boobs
Well said
I commented a lot on reddit. Since switching over, there doesn't seem to be as much activity for me to bounce off from. I still chip in, but it's definitely not at the same level
I interact with it less and less each month. It's become a toxic hellhole that usually leaves me wondering why I still bother to try - even in the niche subs.

In some niche communities, its discussions stay valid like /c/radiology

Poo poo!
Yea what i want is discussion and i thought it would be here coz you know its a reddit alternative but ask lemmy and ama etc are really dead compared to memes and shitpost will mastodon suit me better?
Mastodon managed to just confuse the hell out of me before boring me. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I was never on Twitter. It may be me, not the platform/concept.
I just recently tried Mastodon and I agree with you. It's confusing and I have yet to see anything or anyone worth "following".
Perfectly balanced.
Lmao, the number of comments on this post is ironic. I've had some pretty fun conversations on lemmy.
