I'm finding that Lemmy and the Fediverse in general isn't good enough for normie stuff, like TV and movies. Frankly, i think videogames too now that i think about it. I've seen news about videogames, but never people talking about a videogame. Even anime and manga is very limited.
I don't think that's inherently a platform limitation though. Maybe an initial hurdle for people to join, but once you're on here, you're free to talk about whatever you want.
The real issue is that AI fucking scans everything you ever post, so most people don't want to give out anything real anymore because - surprise - people like privacy.
That huge chunk of people who are aware of what's going on in the world (weird conservative global takeover) and are tech literature is basically a circle, so you don't get a ton of people on here divulging their hearts out.
Tldr basically, conservatives ruin everything.
tv and movies used to be a larger community, until the last big instance shut down. people decided to scatter to different platforms or instances, thus diluting how much topic we get on entertainment.
And the types of anime/manga you're allowed to like on Lemmy is also very narrow.
