tvmoleYouTube --> PeerTube Next?
Doubt it, it's expensive to host and creators won't have ways to ways to monetize it as easily as YouTube.
Also, I wouldn't really call the Twitter and Reddit cases "exodus". As much as I would like to see the fediverse succeed, the number of users on mastodon and Lemmy are just a blip on the radar.
I still see the same links on my Lemmy frontage days after they have been submitted, it's far less active than Reddit.
estyThe lemmy front page default sort is currently broken IIRC. try sorting by new comments.
I tried sorting by "New", and while that does show me new content, it won't show me new content that the community thinks it's good (that's the whole point about having a voting system).
I've changed from the default (i.e. "Active") into "Hot", but the frontpage is still very stale.
One reddit feature I do miss is the ability to automatically hide posts that you already upvoted or downvoted. That would keep my frontpage relatively fresh.
The good thing about Lemmy is that it's open source. Community requests are easy to make and will be discussed. Creating third party apps should not be an issue either.
The bad thing about Lemmy, on the other hand, is that it's open source. There's no VC funding to hire hundreds of overpaid developers to fix things quickly, so we just have to be a bit patient and give the devs time to make the necessary changes.
Yes, I'm fully aware of that, and I'm OK with waiting. I've been favouring the use of open-source software for a long time, and that's not about to change.
Just pointing out some areas that could potentially have a large ROI when it comes to the devs' time.

That problem stopped the instant I switched to Kbin. There is a ton of activity happening that you are missing.
Are there any plans to federate instances across both platforms? (i.e. allow for subscriptions)

Use sort by Top -> Day. The algorithm for that one is working.
