Wow, didn’t expect to make it here, thanks 😄
You do a great job, we appreciate it
Great write up. Thank you!
We appreciate you :)
You hit the nail on the head with this one
no problemo
For me, I never had a Reddit account so I don’t have a basis of comparison.
I don’t even really care about the features, look, etc. I care that it’s decentralized and not owned by a corporation. That’s the beginning and end of it for me.
Lemmy is so much better than Reddit it is no contest. Lemmy just needs a bit more growth.
I honestly appreciate the current scale of Lemmy. It feels nostalgic of oldskool forums or even oldskool reddit. But I can’t deny the a larger scale brings certain advantages that are almost essential for a modern online community. It also brings risks. I’m very curious to see where the future will lead lemmy and if it will be able to withstand the traps others haven fallen into.
I dunno, I keep seeing almost only propaganda whenever my country in mentioned and it gets defended a lot because “muh left”, and it’s really off putting.
If I wanted misinformation and disinformation, reddit is already filled with bots that do that whenever the goverment is criticised and mods that do nothing against those bots.
It’s fresh, for lack of a better word. Reddit is the same 5 questions on repeat in most subs. There are back corner niche groups that don’t exist here yet, but the main pages are mostly repetitive garbage.
And ten forward!
However, those are stil a bit less mature than Lemmy, so for instance if you want to use mobile apps a lot, Lemmy is a better choice.
Speaking for fedia.io, the mobile browser interface is perfectly satisfactory, no special app needed.
I even use the Lemmy default UI on phone and don’t have any issues with that, but I’ve seen people to whom having a dedicated app was very important.
It’s definitely fine but I do like voyager. It has some nice features that are mobile oriented.
