So just like that a bunch of communities I'm subscribed to are gone? I guess I could make another account on beehaw but this is quickly becoming more trouble than it's worth. I've broken my Reddit addiction. Maybe it's time to leave lemmy before I get attached.

    yep, we are federating just fine. i highly recommend it. since it already sounds like im pitching a product, i may as well throw in some useful additions to make the experience better:

    1. add home instance name to peoples usernames
    2. collapsible comments
    3. collapsible media previews
    4. nice and neat theme

    edit: because i love it so much, i am gonna double recommend collapsible media previews. it has made my experience SO much better.

    @johndroid Lemmy and the fedeverse isn't for everyone. If your used to getting told what to do by corporations go back to Twitter/Reddit and they will sensor you and sell your activity/Data if you wanna stay free stick with lemmy and Mastodon

    It's not about getting told what to do or having your data sold, it's about a friction-free social media experience. It depends on what the aims of the platform are and what the desires of potential users are. Personally, I'd imagine most users want something simple and easy, where they don't have to think about what and where and how to post. But if the intent of the platform is to make that harder, then that's fine, it'll just result in fewer users and less content/activity.

    it’s about a friction-free social media experience.

    If you want "friction-free", maybe use something that's been around for a while longer. This is a system undergoing rapid change, not a stable production service.

    @ppptan @johndroid Reddit and lemmy are hard when you first start l. Eventually you will get muscle memory and it will become second nature. I think people that are on Lemmy and Mastodon are there to escape oppression from the man (Corporate) They all provide a service but people want freedom. Nobody can't stop you from using Reddit. We just know that the CEO is there for the bottom dollar no matter who gets in the way.

    Lemmy is harder to start than reddit because the federated nature of it makes it not just one place. Just because you want to escape the man doesn't mean you want to have to jump through hoops and read a textbook of documentation to understand things.

    @ppptan @johndroid Reddit is hard also even you first start. Everything is hard at the beginning. Lemmy got documentation cause it's so vast and you can do more. Also it's something new. I moderate 3 subs and use reddit mastodon and lemmy. I been. On reddit 6 years and hit the frontpage 5 times. I can honestly say that mastodon is easier even though I know reddit in and out. I studied reddit and just got better at it.
