Lemmy was nice at first but the communities now are really unfriendly, there is 0 motivation to create content

It was always bound to happen after a massive user gain. Frankly, we should be quite happy we can get over 400 comments in a thread. That’s not insubstantial for a very niche platform.
i don't care. I came here because i'm so sick of reddit.
I’ll throw in a few reasons
-Learning curve is huge compared to other social media
-As soon as an instance gets a large audience hosting costs skyrocket and moderation ability plummets
-The same instance can exist on multiple servers causing the demographic to be split
-Pr0n instances have to take the colossal risk of hosting malicious material that can send them to jail because the data is hosted on their own server

The people who don't want to stick with Lemmy are the people we don't want on Lemmy.
I see this as a win.

I moved to Lemmy over from reddit not because of content or better UI but because people behind reddit seems like jerks to me and i came to realization I'd rather use open source.
What i lack here is information e.g. programming communities in Lemmy are, well, dead. If left on Lemmy things that are "recommended" to me it's sensational "news" that are aimed to spark woke vs others battle in discussion.
So what to make better ?
- to build what reddit has, I'd call it a content library and i don't care if it's done by bots or humans. For me the facts + discussion to ask question is super important.
- if searching for a topic outside of Lemmy> Lemmy doesn't show up in search engine but reddit does. Some optimization needs to be done to get better score at search engines.
- let users to block instances and thus make de-federation to user's decision.
- i think there needs to some kind of cross instance community, i don't think having same kind of community in multiple instances with different content is good solution.
