Yup. I mentioned this on Reddit as well. OG Reddit vibes.
Sadly i checked in on the Apollo sub and there's a lot of hate on there for Lemmy. Not sure if people fully understand it or they are just fighting the inevitable change that is coming lol. But it def. reminds me of the digg meltdown and how people were hellbent that reddit sucked and wouldn't last and was too difficult to use... lol change is hard sometimes but it's life.
What are their complaints about lemmy?
The complaints are all over the place so likely coming from people that either A.) haven't actually used Lemmy. B.) Used it for .5 seconds got confused and gave up. C.) Are just afraid of change and just wanna stick their heads in the sand...
But most of them center around how difficult lemmy is to use and how "communities are way too overbearing with the rules." , that it uses the new.reddit UI, and that it's run by a bunch of "tankies"
What's a tankie? My biggest concern is the fragmentation of communities due to multiple servers, so the numbers in any one server will always be smaller.
they're complaining about us lemmygrad users, but we aren't even the biggest instance anymore + the 2 recommended instances block us anyways so it's a worthless complaint now
