So now that this is here, we carry on with business as usual?

    Being the second-best at everything means we have a very varied userbase, and that’s a death sentence on Lemmy, where you need 900 separate accounts for each instance. Seriously, the user experience here is so awful it’d be almost unbelievable, if this place wasn’t flush with Linux nerds, who spontaneously burst into flame at the idea of usable UX.

    Also, the Reddit sub has like 100k subs. This entire website has like 5k max.

    EDIT: Kbin alternative, since lemmy.ml is quite sus.

      Eh most FOSS stuff i’ve used has actually worked out decently despite the mediocre user experience, not saying i’ve not had any dogass experiences with some things though. Imo lemmy isnt too bad but deffo could be better.

        It’s gotta clean up fast, which is a lot to ask of any service, never mind a curiousity project.

        Yeah, I’m seeing that now. The worry has been updated to “Huge chunks of this federation may die the moment one guy running a big instance turns out to be a sex pest”.
