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, so 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.

You won't find half the communities or niche interests here. It's hopelessly small relatively and it's not visibly getting any better any time soon. I still shifted off reddit because I found their complacency unacceptable, but the sacrifice is felt.

I still think universities and academic societies should be hosting instances and funding them with dedicated endowments. It'd also provide a great way to request more money from people who feel a reciprocal obligation due to using the instance.

Lemmy is relatively dead and horribly split-brained. Basically, federations should have been a per topic thing, not entire instances.
