Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it's been an effort.... #RedditMigration

Looking for a Reddit alternative? Lemmy tell you, they currently kinda suck

I tried out a growing Reddit alternative, Lemmy, for a week, and its clear that federated apps aren't ready to replace Reddit yet.

But unless something changes dramatically, it’ll suffer the same fate as Mastodon or Bluesky.

I have no idea what's going on with Bluesky, but mastodon is... fine? It's not twitter and never will be.

This doesn't mean Lemmy doesn't need a bit of work, though, I don't think anyone would deny that. I don't think they've had quite the pressure to triage issues like they do now, so a decent list of priorities is probably emerging.

I'm tempted to try to help, but I'm (generously) a rust novice. I worry I'll waste their time with bad PRs.

Yeah, Mastodon's going pretty strong. I don't really get what the message here is supposed to be.

"I, a tech writer, am not using it"?

'I'm not using it nor are the people I surround myself with therefore it is a failure.'
