The main problem with Lemmy, is I see the same 20-50 posts for 3-4 days until there is a new front page...
I fucking hate Reddit, but the front-page is always fresh, so I always end up going back....
The problem with Lemmy is that the demographic that uses it is too specific: nerdy, atheist, college educated (usually in computers) Gen X and early Millennial left-wing political hobbyists.
Like, there's a reason the one of the only specific media franchises that can sustain an active community here is Star Trek.

I do not, ActivityPub uses HTTP signatures to make sure messages and requests from other servers are legit,
Essentially, it adds a "signature" header which contains a link to a users public key, a list of headers in the message and a signed hash of all the headers and the request.
There's a better explaination here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/security/
A delicated bot to scrape ActivityPub posts is possible, but generic bots shouldn't work. If a delicated bot is made, people can block its keys or server anyway.
Signatures are only used to deliver activities to inboxes. The Activitypub json data of posts is usually available without any auth.

I find there is new content but so often a lot of it is US politics based. Some other stuff does exist but its hard to filter out the stuff I don't care about at times.
Sure I can subscribe to other communities, but finding them can be difficult and searching for all is swamped by Trump and Musk.
It helps if you block all those communities you don't care about. Or even block some instances.

A lot of servers require signatures on GET requests as well, for private posts and to block specific people/servers.

Private communities will be in 1.0, along with some other visibility modes.
Legendary.

there isnt enough porn on Lemmy. and despite that there isn't enough porn, theres like 100 specialized sites for specific body parts, with very low activity and the same person posting everything

Be the change that you want to see

I have both Lemmy and reddit.
The front page on Lemmy changes every week.
On reddit it changes daily.
The only new posts I see best the end of the day on Lemmy are all in German.
Don't get me wrong, Lemmy is great, but it's got a LONG way to crawl to get to reddit's level of success.
I don't mind the fact that Lemmy changes at a slower pace. Gives me less to scroll through

I only have Lemmy but I consume way less social media since that's all I have... Which is a good thing.

Sometimes you don't want to completely block them though, just see something else right now

The c's? (for the /c/ links for the communities here, and it sounds like "the seas")
Mbin uses /m/
