Growing pains for sure. The power of reddit is it's ubiquity - communities on reddit can be very granular because the critical mass has been reached for it to still function. I dont want the homepage of reddit, the social network black hole of endless scrolling, I want conversations about things I can't discuss anywhere else. Home assistant yaml tips and the best builds in Path of Exile and whatnot.
While I like the long-term implication a of lemmy, right now it's specicially the worst part of reddit.
I agree with this. One of my favorite things to do was go to a hyper specific cat sub and just lurk. Same with other subs. Right now there isn’t enough stuff to do that currently. I did posit and comment here and there but it wasn’t regular.
