Today marks my first day on lemmy after leaving Reddit after 3 years, I already like the platform I just wish their was a mobile app, and wish the mobile web support was a bit more polished but i understand it’s still in it’s earlier stages

Well said!
Personally I think lemmy managed quite well to keep their politics under soft-wraps so to speak. The “empire” conspiracies rarely end up on front-page. I think of all reddit clones Lemmy has the best chance and it’s nice to see it unfold!
I hope the maintainers find the strength to continue with this and launch federation soon — that’ll be huge for the platform. I really liked Prismo but it never managed to launch federation support, hopefully Lemmy managed to cross this step.
Regarding UX I already wrote few greasemonkey improvements that make it a much better experience. I see few issues on github already but it seems to be low priority so maybe I should make my scripts sharable with other users 🤔
yeah i’m really hoping to see lemmy succeed to, it’s always hard for early starting projects cause a big deal breaker is funding. And you can’t get funding if their is no user base. The best way to get user base is through influencers though get 1 influencer on the platform the rest follow like sheep
what kind of funding do you mean? I hope this remains true for the life of lemmy:
also, do we really want influencers and sheep?
Funding to keep the project alive, everything costs money. And yes influencers bring people and people talk to people and so on.

The tildes model (though invite only) seems appealing … here is a breakdown of their costs and donations:

and on tildes potential lack of funding
granted, one main goal for lemmy is federation so approaches may vary, but in any event an influencers sheeple eyeballs revenue VC model is not the only one
Yes plz share those scripts! - I think lemmy users are willing to tolerate the rough edges because they see something that could be viable long term. I think we have all witnessed really silly censorship that has been going on at reddit, but also the pros when it comes to removing racist & extremist content. I think federation is the right way to go because it means you dont have to take an absolute side but the community can find its happy medium.
