Compared to established, age-old platform? Yes, we’re less developed. But do you know what’s even worse? Corporate greed! Rest assured, we’ll improve and mature over time.

    Just out of curiosity, what have you found difficult about Lemmy?

      I’m not the OP here but my biggest hurdle has just been finding similar communities to the ones I regularly browsed on Reddit. I don’t totally understand how the difference instances work here, or if that affects different communities being visible when I’m searching for something. It seems that if I am signed out of my account on one instance and search for something then I get a lot more results vs if I’m signed into this account and try to search.

      I’m also using Jerboa, but was a Sync Pro user for years before. I’m looking forward to those devs releasing an application for Lemmy in the future.

        Yes, discoverability is a large weakness of federate systems. As I understood it:

        • Instances host communities
        • You can access communities from other instances
        • To find a community hosted on another instance via search, at least 1 user has to have explicitly interacted with that community (search for it using the full name including instance name)
        • This registers it to your ‘home’ instance
        • This means, if no one searched for it explicitly, you won’t find it and won’t know it even exists.

        Second, due to instances being separate, there can be multiple variations of the same community. For example, a community “Technology” could exist on 10 different instances and is entirely independent from any other with the same name.

      Everything is constantly broken on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml when I use wefwef and liftoff. Upvotes dont work, comments don’t load half the time etc etc. Seems like this is a fast server for now…also I made so many accounts lol

      comments between instance are horribly out of sync, I’m a mod of indonesia@lemmy.world, when I try to open one thread from lemmy.world it correctly has 40 comments, but when opened from lemm.ee, there are only 9 comments

      granted, lemm.ee is blazing fast, but why does it matter if the comments don’t appear

      Also not OP but it drops frames like nobody’s business (meaning scrolling feels really bad) on my Pixel 7 Pro. Never had that happen in rif, even on much weaker hardware.
