The "active local content" even here in australia , is often trash on reddit, it still has that murican feel to it.
No doubt that varies by location, and subject though.
My reddit feed most days is completely empty, it's more for if I want to look something up, or ask a question about something (guaranteed mixed results there of course, but probably no worse than any other platform).
The first part is very unlikely to be true, the second part is probably not a bad thing for lemmy, your "anarchist" friends are most likely much more at home on twitter, facebook, instagram etc.
If lemmy is getting a "reputation as a tankie bar" and that is keeping the type of people away who repeatedly regurgitate tankie, leftist etc, that will lower the quantity of users, but the quality ratio will improve.
What other reasons can be given for post deletion?
Lemmy isn't worse off due to that post no longer being here.
The graph is surprising, I expected the opposite, due to reddit becoming more and more reddity every day, along with the current political/social climate in multiple countries. It seems a good time for people to want something different.
reddit has rapidly become somewhere you go for need, not for want
ie: a particular linux sub, only as needed.
Ideally the subs you follow there, will appear here in time, but the problem with that is that the people will follow, and this (to a degree) will become that.
Did you look at the all feed on reddit? If so there is no help for you anywhere, you make your own choices.
If I could block the usa on here, would I still see posts from people crying about left, leftist, leftism?
Awfully ironic from a country where 1% of the people even vote left, let alone know what it is.
