Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it’s been an effort.

I am using Mastadon more, hopefully with time we see a similar level of polish. However, even there it don’t see a dent in Twitter.

    The same thing will happen on the fediverse if there are enough people using it. It’s a circular problem.

    The technical and usability aspects of Lemmy/Kbin will get ironed out, and probably sooner rather than later. I just want there to be enough critical mass of people that I have communities for most of what I want. E.g. gaming is well covered, but I don’t have a replacement for /r/nfl which was my primary NFL news source.

      I also feel like the critical thing is also that with the last wave to the fediverse being mastodon, since they’re both federated, it makes it easier to reach critical mass. My Mastodon experience has been improved by the expansion of kbin and lemmy use.

        That’s looking good, but I’m having trouble with the federation to kbin.social. I can follow it, but I don’t get any content. This instance has been pretty good at federation stuff and it’s listed in our instances list, but nothing doing.

      Also, I imagine that the NFL mag will pick up when the season actually starts. The NBA mag was fairly active for the finals, so long as people are still active here they’re gonna wanna talk pigskin
