    Its’ really hard to not conclude that there are people attracted to Lemmy because it is so constant-crashing unstable and so feature lacking compared to Reddit.

    It gives them power, their instance importance, that errors in SQL update statements hit 1500 rows of site_aggregates - and the Rust community in general seems to ignore that Lemmy is written in Rust and how to make the best of fixing SQL issues in Diesel, etc.

    Someone against multi-reddit / multi-community coding because they want to keep away the unwashed masses of Reddit… instead of adding features to better acclimate users to their communities before posting/commenting, they want the entire Lemmy code base for all instances to be held back on a new feature to making switching Playlists more difficult.

    It just doesn’t seem to be in their imagination that the feature could have been coded 2 years ago… and how you manage the problem of engaging the audience of your community is one to address directly… not by trying to run off programmers trying to add obvious features to the code.
