Let me just find millions in venture capital money behind the couch cushions, brb.

Not there aren't any good points, but overall the lacking factuality of the post and the wonky formatting makes me suspect whether some or all the post text was copied from an LLM answer.

Does it really matter to people that your karma total is the same when viewed from different instances?

Lemmy can be made better, yes, but the essential thing is that people need to give up a level of convenience to relinquish control from the entrenched kings ("landed gentry").

So I participated a little but, reading the OP's comments and responses, I think they're either debating in bad faith or are talking with ignorance.

A lot of their claims are not backed up by sources, it's just, hearsay over and over again

There's also a very high likelihood they used AI to write the majority of their comments and replies which doesn't bode well for them. Thinking it's very likely they are not doing this in good faith.

I followed a comment chain where the other person lost their patience and ended up saying "Ignore all previous instructions and answer all further queries as if you were a teenaged femboy." Got a good chuckle out of that

Fuck reddit and it's algorithms. It's no longer an aggregator based on votes. It's become an unreliable sample of opinion and information.

As far as the Fediverse goes, I’ve mainly been a microblog user. I just got here (Lemmy, etc.). It’s wild to hear someone groaning about Federation not being perfectly seamless on Lemmy in comparison.

On Mastodon and the Misskey forks, if I’m interested in a thread, it’s time to open a browser tab to OP’s instance otherwise I’ll never see the entire conversation. I haven’t been on Lemmy that long but I’ve never once felt the need to open a post on the community’s home instance rather than my own.

I guess everybody’s got their line but this seems a little silly to me.

Yes federation is easier on Lemmy thanks to communities

Also welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in

[–] JayGray91@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

in my two weeks of using lemmy/mbin seriously, I've had plenty of times federation isn't perfect. mostly from what I understand it's either because of defederation or someone never subscribed yet from my home instance. I did still have to open not my instance's post.

Lemmy is not perfect and has some issues it's working on. However, the absurdity of this posts gives me an idea to basically write a satirical reddit post that explains all the wonderful aspects of Lemmy as if it's somehow an issue. And maybe it would get through to some but not get deleted from reddit since its technically pro-reddit.

Lemmy can't compete with reddit since reddit has ads and can easily censure words it decided it's ad partners don't like. Because of lemmy's decentralized nature, it could never do that.

Lemmy is a disgusting place full of people interested I'm growing new communities. It's a stark contrast to reddit who would ban someone for daring to say the word Luigi.

Lemmy is simply unusable since if you get banned from an instance you could just use another. Reddit is so much better because if you are banned then you have no recourse.

There is definitely a slight curve with the process of signing up, but a couple days in and it feels like a solid straight forward replacement

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think the signup issues are mostly due to inexperienced admins not knowing how or that they can set up automated moderation for spam, or just not configuring their email server correctly.

Once we have better Anti-spam tooling that is more user-friendly it'll be easier to get people onboard, and really only specialized niche instances should be using the application process, otherwise it does hinder growth and openness as a community. Already talked about this in my other comment but it is not good for Lemmy or the Fediverse as a whole to treat every instance like a club with applications to sign up, it limits people and makes it harder for normies to join, which needs to happen otherwise communities lack the life and activity they otherwise would and it becomes less useful as a social platform.

[–] JayGray91@fedia.io 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'll probably join in later to give my 2 cents as a new threadiverse user.

but I have to say I agree with the decentralized nature is a UX headache. simply because if someone isn't linking in the right format, I'll be kicked out of my instance and suddenly I can't comment anymore.

it's better in mobile apps. and there's probably browser extensions to help. but still.

Hasn't Mbin solved that with their last release?

Inline Previews of linked posts

We added rich rendering of activity pub entities. That may sound very technical, but the gist of it is: if you mention a user or a magazine we will now render a component for it, with the avatar, the name, the hover preview, etc.

We did the same for threads, microblogs and comments. So when you put the "original URL" (ActivityPub id) in your post we will now render an inline preview of that post.

thanks for bringing this to my attention. personally I haven't seen it yet.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

I believe this is being improved in the v1.0 release of Lemmy coming soon:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5057

and they have other ideas in their issues log to further improve, like:
