    I appreciate that every post doesn’ have 3000 comments. I can actually contribute to a discussion and get heard.

    This post gets it. It can stink that not every post has a bunch of conversations around it, but oh well.

    Where the conversations do happen, they happen organically, and are often quite high quality, comparatively.

    We can be thankful that Lemmy is (as of yet) mostly unencumbered with the problem of bots pretending to be legitimate users to drive the conversation specific directions (forum sliding, for example), and due to that we have some quality discussions that are able to happen.

    Also, remember that Lemmy is a small open source project with only two or three full time devs and the rest being from community contributions. Lemmy is also entirely supported by user donations and an NLnet grant. I feel like too many people are coming here and basically expecting corporate level customer service and user experience just without the corporate enshitification, which is not a fair expectation for such a small and grassroots platform.

    Lemmy is also very young and very much still in beta, it only started federating like two years ago. Keep that in mind as well.

    I felt lemmy was successful the first time I was attacked by a hyperfixated debatelord just like on reddit. If cloning the reddit experience in the fediverse was the goal, for me mission accomplished 👍

    It’s honestly pretty stable at this point. There’s only maybe one or two bugs left but it’s very usable. I’ve enjoyed the conversations I’ve had on here too.

    There’s just meme, news discussions on here. I would like to discuss hobbies like video games, TV series but there are no communities about that

      Back in the old BBS days, we didn’t slice ‘n dice human conversation into tens of thousands of rigidly-defined topic bins. We just… talked to each other. The categorization came later as the teeming masses got online, and large forums became unwieldy.

      Lemmy is still small, and the slice ‘n dice approach doesn’t work. Just find a community that’s general enough, and post about the things you like.

    This is way better. Reddit is so messed up in so many ways who cares to even bother with that site.

    People here in the Lemmy website/ community should focus their efforts on quality of the content.

    As time goes on, various issues gradually goes away with incremental improvements. Anything from code, UI, features & function.

    Let’s utilize lean methodology here. Starting with the 3S; Sweap, Sort & Standardize. :)

    Better this than the millions of bots on reddit. Also no worries about commercialization on Lemmy, so long as we support the servers we’re good forevermore.

      I’m pretty sure I have seen paid content here, though some real people are too excited over unexciting products

    Take advantage of enjoying these small communities. This site won’t be small forever

      Even Reddit has small communities. There will always be groups where you recognise many of the names

      I miss /r/enfp though (over of those tiny subs). So many regulars are gone, it really went down hill with the death of apps and I don’t visit it anymore
