Coming from Reddit, it feels similar but nice overall. Still a bit clunky because fediverse stuff is clunky, somewhat by nature.

    It’s different. I wish I had the ability to create a meta-community (or meta-instance) that pulls communities from different instances together into one feed without having to mass-subscribe to all of them.

    The fact there are multiple communities of the same or similar interest spread across multiple instances makes it much harder to get a good grasp of actual activity, so it takes more effort to reach a critical mass.

    It’ll get better with time since Lemmy is still pretty underdeveloped as software.

    It’s pretty slow on activity. My most visited sub garners only 5% of the action it had on Reddit. Lemmy also doesn’t have my niche subs.

    Hard to say. Burggit was defederated so quickly that I never really got to make use of the other instances. As it is now this instance could almost just be another message board. Don’t know if there’s any chance of re-federation once moderation tools improve. I hope so. I do like the communities feature of Lemmy. They provide a gathering place that was missing in Mastodon.

      I hope for the refederation too, but, if mastodon/pleroma/etc culture tells us something, most likely it wont happen, which sucks massive ass. I hate those heavy handed moderation practices.

        But loli is very harmful :( real children died for my drawing of a foot that I made on a napkin the other day. All servers should defederate us so we do not draw flat chests on napkins anymore and cause more unnecessary deaths.
