It seems Lemmy is as much of an echo chamber as anywhere else. Even when I agree with the hive I like to read differing viewpoints, but there’s no easy way to sort through them here. We can’t be well-rounded when all we see are the same opinions endlessly reinforced in discussions.

      But then I’m just going from one echo chamber to another. Ideally, I’d like to see civil discourse from all most people from different walks.

        Is there really too many comments on a lemmy post for you to see all comments, including “controversial”?

        If I had to sort this feature request it would be far at the bottom of the list, at least until more users are commenting.

          It’s not much of a concern so far. Threads are generally small enough to read through, but some (especially news) threads do get quite large.
