His issues are that he misses the cultivated nature of Reddit. Reddit didn't start out cultivated, and took time and effort by volunteers to figure out it's identity. The same thing will happen with the fediverse. It will get cleaned up and streamlined as people put in effort. People look at a lump of carbon and say it's worthless, but with time it becomes a diamond.
Some people only see the value of something in it's present form and miss out on potential. The fediverse has a lot of potential so long as it is active. It's open nature will bring in freelance development help and it could very well become BETTER than what reddit was. Keep the faith
The same thing will happen on the fediverse if there are enough people using it. It's a circular problem.
The technical and usability aspects of Lemmy/Kbin will get ironed out, and probably sooner rather than later. I just want there to be enough critical mass of people that I have communities for most of what I want. E.g. gaming is well covered, but I don't have a replacement for /r/nfl which was my primary NFL news source.
Danny and I have been sharing topics on the NFL mag, help us out
Also, I imagine that the NFL mag will pick up when the season actually starts. The NBA mag was fairly active for the finals, so long as people are still active here they're gonna wanna talk pigskin
