Coming from reddit, Lemmy isn't great
Coming from reddit, Lemmy isn't great
I appreciate the decentralized architecture and the privacy that comes with it, but it's organization isn't great.
I'm not sure if I understand why certain instances can choose not to federate with other instances. It just seems to limit the content that is accessible to me. I don't want to have to switch between 4-5 Lemmy accounts that I switch just to curate what I to see. Its impractical.
I'm not happy with the changes on reddit and will most likely ditch entirely soon. Lately I've only been using it for tutorials. But at least I wasn't closed off from viewing anything and everything I wanted without sifting through instances. I hope great things come for Lemmy, competitors are great, but in its current state it just seems doomed.

I've not seen this yet, how does this manifest?
Can't access lemmygrad.ml from this instance. Not going to complain since I understand the reasoning and am grateful for this instance.
I haven't run into others, but if lemmy actually takes off there will be more fragmented instances. Seems to be an inherent pro/con depending on how you look at it.
Ah yes I can see, trying to manually add communities form there via search results in "No results." instead of parsing that community.
