I love Lemmy and I enjoy that it's less of a constant news+politics festival than Reddit, but the downside of that is that you won't get exposure to some pretty important events just by browsing the top posts. You have to go to a news comm, can't rely on the community to put the most important news at the top. Many days there have been huge news events and the top Lemmy posts are all comics and memes - nothing wrong with that! The community can be whatever it wants. But as a user , especially if you're coming from Reddit, you've gotta know to supplement your news with other sources (which really you should be doing anyways).
