On Reddit at reddit.com/r/redditalternatives, people are talking about a "Reddit 2.0." What do you suggest?

That's what would fix things for me; make the federation 100% behind-the-curtain so that I don't have to think about it. I don't care about the backend, I'm not hosting, the value to me is ad views only, not cash.

Again, sounds like if we did have multimagazine support (as I described earlier) then things would be fixed for you. If I've missed anything, please detail that out.

The fediverse/threadiverse is not a drop-in replacement for Reddit.

So actually there's an active effort to re-expose lemmy's API as reddit's own API (allowing folks to use things like PRAW with lemmy and even kbin thanks to the magic of federation). In theory third party apps could simply point to a server hosting this API, instead of reddit's site, and just work with the fediverse.

I know that's not what you meant, but that is pretty drop-in.

Until it is, I'll keep one foot in spez's yard. If Meta's Threads product does become an ActivityPub community and solves this issue, I'll move there

It likely would because it seems like it won't federate with the rest of us and just either be a single instance or at best a group of instances controlled by fb that only federate with each other. Either way the number of duplicately named magazines is strictly limited.

. I'd argue a solid 80% of users on corp-owned social media wouldn't understand even if you simplify it.

That, sadly, I find myself in agreement with.
