How do I know lemmy is here to stay? (lemmy.one)

Seems pretty much a done deal to me. I have not added any additional subscriptions over the last 3 days.

Day 1 all my ‘new’ for 12h fit on 1 page. Yesterday it was 2 pages. Today more than 3.

Amount of content is just getting more and more. Starting to feel just like how it was on reddit. And I dont mean posts about lemmy either. My subscriptions dont include this sub (community) for example.

Feels like the tipping point is happening and feels good to get onto something new. Reddit was feeling stale anyway. I concede its not perfect but its working for me and meeting my needs right now. Its enough and I am happy

Tnx all of you. -T

I have to be honest, currently I don't see myself staying on Lemmy over Reddit.

All I want it browsing communities (subreddits) as easy and accessible as possible. I spend most of my time on my frontpage and r/all, the "it just works" feeling is nothing that Lemmy gives me so far.

Lemmy seems to be a thing for enthusiast. I have my doubt it will stick with the everyday average user.

This issue tracker will completely resolve the problem you're facing.

Give the devs time, it's not fully matured yet!

The problems with lemmy are being solved, the problems with reddit are because reddit makes reddit malicious intentionally.

Designing federated things is much more difficult than a centralized service, but the results you get from federation are amazing:

Imagine if reddit was federated, if the main reddit instance tried the API thing they're doing right now, we'd just move to another instance and lose literally none of the content or anything. This means lemmy will NEVER have those problems, and it WILL get better.

How exactly does that address his issue?

It NEEDS the ability to block entire instances as an individual user.

It's a glaring problem that I noticed nearly instantly, Lemmy is currently very off-putting because of how some people from one very specific server interact with everyone around them. 90% of the people on here are great, that 10% is already making me second-guess being here without a custom server.
