I think the biggest problem with this place ever becoming active is the different instances not staying in sync. On lemmy.ml where I created it I’m seeing 28 subscribers, 3 posts and 5 comments. Other instances are showing 5 subscribers, 3 posts and 3 comments and then there’s instances where I can’t find this place at all.

I’ve also sent PMs that either never send or never get read. How or why would people want to talk here when the experience is so inconsistent?

    I think most of us haven’t experienced the inconsistency yet. We see our home instance and assume it’s correct.

    In general I agree. The current implementation of federation makes for a really shitty user experience.

    I really feel it on Mastodon: things are hard to find; search doesn’t really work; subscribing to stuff on other instances is convoluted.

    It doesn’t feel as bad on Lemmy.
