Also, remember that Lemmy is a small open source project with only two or three full time devs and the rest being from community contributions. Lemmy is also entirely supported by user donations and an NLnet grant. I feel like too many people are coming here and basically expecting corporate level customer service and user experience just without the corporate enshitification, which is not a fair expectation for such a small and grassroots platform.
Lemmy is also very young and very much still in beta, it only started federating like two years ago. Keep that in mind as well.
I felt lemmy was successful the first time I was attacked by a hyperfixated debatelord just like on reddit. If cloning the reddit experience in the fediverse was the goal, for me mission accomplished 👍
You've been in a coma for almost 20 years because of a car accident. We're trying a new technique. We don't know where this message will end up in your dream, but we hope we're getting through. Please wake up.
If you find out if I'm real, let me know. Either way, I think I'll feel better knowing. EOL
Lemmy is just starting out, there are bound to be rough spots, so far Lemmy has satisfied my desire for some discussions, a desire from after the Apikalypse.
I still read reddit, but all my accounts are deleted, and I refuse let them win me back.
for viewing reddit without interacting, i recommend the "stealth" app (i use the one from fdroid, and im not sure if its available elsewhere)
There's just meme, news discussions on here. I would like to discuss hobbies like video games, TV series but there are no communities about that
Back in the old BBS days, we didn’t slice ‘n dice human conversation into tens of thousands of rigidly-defined topic bins. We just... talked to each other. The categorization came later as the teeming masses got online, and large forums became unwieldy.
Lemmy is still small, and the slice ‘n dice approach doesn’t work. Just find a community that’s general enough, and post about the things you like.
I hate to break it to you Wood, but everyone besides you are just a script
This is way better. Reddit is so messed up in so many ways who cares to even bother with that site.
I find that the quality of content and people always takes a sharp drop the bigger the community gets
It's honestly pretty stable at this point. There's only maybe one or two bugs left but it's very usable. I've enjoyed the conversations I've had on here too.
People here in the Lemmy website/ community should focus their efforts on quality of the content.
As time goes on, various issues gradually goes away with incremental improvements. Anything from code, UI, features & function.
Let's utilize lean methodology here. Starting with the 3S; Sweap, Sort & Standardize. :)
People within subject x, y, z are tolerable, even beneficial, and I enjoy their company. People in general are boneheaded and infantile.
