    I really wonder what is preventing people using reddit from using Lemmy, Lemmy is just really good and I really like it, the only problem would be financial issues with big instances that have to store historical data so they can serve it, using more and more space, si that is why is better for everyone to use small instances instead of big ones ;3

      The one thing I miss about Reddit is the number and diversity of groups. You had many more niche topics and many people under them. What I don’t miss is how they were sponsored and dependent on car and oil and gas ads.

        Even huge thriving communities on Reddit have zero representation here. The culture is also hyper specific on Lemmy. I find Lemmy to be generally more tolerant of my progressive, feminist, disabled person views but also if I want to talk about them there’s not that many places, but there are what feels like hundreds of options to talk about stuff I have absolutely no interest in like operating systems. I think it’s a diversity issue

      Lemmy is relatively dead and horribly split-brained.

      Basically, federations should have been a per topic thing, not entire instances.
