I barely see them, but what I did see today was several people saying 'Fuck the CCP' with a ton of upvotes.
Have you tried the webapps, wefwef/voyager and .. mymlm or whatever it's called? Those are apparently really good. Remember there was no Reddit app until the community built it, and the apps weren't perfect at the start either, but they did get there. Have fun using the piece of shit official reddit app, since that's your only option now.
First legitimate reason. It's a busy instance. Try making an account on a less busy instance. I am connecting through lemmy.nz and I have no problems. It's easy to copy communities over with Lasim.
Second legitimate reason. Well, half. If you want better content, why don't you take the initiative and help make Lemmy a better place? This is kind of like 'everyone else isn't doing the work for me.'

It amazes me when people think their opinions are so important they feel they have to announce they're leaving. The insecurity involved must be truly astonishing.
It's fine when it's constructive, but when it comes down to "fuck socialists", "fuck their opinions", "fuck anything socialists make" and "Lemmy World is glitchy" I'm honestly not sure wtf they expect anyone to do with that information.
Just on the "There are so much socialists/communists around, including Lemmy’s founders. Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities."
You really need to learn to tolerate and listen to the views of people you disagree with. Just cutting those voices out entirely and not wanting to hear them really is putting yourself into an echo chamber. You are an individual - don't fall into the trap of thinking you need to belong to a "group" and agree with all the thoughts in that group and disagree with all the thoughts outside that group. It's important that you are open to being challenged and hearing other peoples world views, even if yours is ultimately unchanged. Otherwise you'll just be a sheep thinking how others are directing you to think.
Also, the idea that the word "community" is socialist/communist is the most rediculous thing I've read in a while.
There are so much socialists/communists around, including Lemmy’s founders. Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities.
I call bs on this. This is just regurgitation of 'common knowledge'. The creators of the code had tanky beliefs and that has no bearing on the vast majority of the content.
What I find is there's a lot of privacy hardliners to the point where I'm scared to admit that I like using Chrome as my browser in case I get lynched. But I've joined/lurked on a lot of communities (and how is that a communist word?!?) and not so far seen anything turn into a debate about socialism/communism.
Content is decent/ good, certainly it is not as much as Reddit but hey - Lemmy is just getting started. While Reddit has been there for what? 7 years? Longer?
If OP dislikes "community" they're definitely going to bitch about magazines and start whining to try and get KBin to be more similar to Reddit. I think we're better off with them going back to R.
K bye? Like, you do you - not sure what anyone else is going to do with this information. You are right about this place being a glitchy mess, it's fairly new after all. The rest of the points are not particularly good ones.
OP, if you are being sincere, you can give kbin a try. I'm writing this to you from kbin.social. You can subscribe to many different communities in Lemmy and magazines in Kbin and see them all in your kbin Subscribed feed. I have more content than I know what to do with.
If that doesn't work for you, you could also try Squabbles, which has groups instead of communities and seems likable and very general interest.
