Lemmy is awesome - I'm really enjoying it. Like the early days of Digg, even Fark, etc. Quality stuff happening!
Performance has improved, but many niche communities need more growth and engagement.
Duplicate communities across Lemmy instances are a bit of a nightmare in some ways - although by design, and also have advantages.
r/all on Reddit looks pretty different now, unless that's just my perception. A lot of subs I'd never seen, more low quality stuff with less engagement.
apparently reddit changed the r/all algorithm a lot tho, it's not just because of a change in userbase as far as I understand it
Ah that's really interesting, it absolutely feels very low quality and different now to me - I wonder why they would make changes that degrade the feel. Maybe I just have bad taste!
I doubt that that was their goal. I don't think your taste is bad, it's probably just different from what they think most people want. I'm not sure whether most people actually want that though
