I asked someone i know why they didn’t join lemmy, their answer is lemmy is too fractured and they have to sub to multiple same community to get the full thing. I think it’s a quirk of fediverse/ap protocol, where each instance could have and want their own community, and some instance user would like to stay in their own instance as well.
I like this part of lemmy. You can easily toggle whether you want posts/communities from your instance or globally. And I agree that some of the communities are redundant but I’ve found that it is easy enough to follow similar communities so my feed is all content I like.
Yeah, i don’t mind that as well, i browse All instead of Subscribed so i’ll be seeing the same stuff anyway. For people who got really used to reddit though, it’s a challenge.
I view it as a benefit because it encourages a small world, tribal model which works better with human brains.
It’s definitely different however, so I can see some friction if it’s not what people are used to. Frankly I don’t want one topic with thousands of comments, most of which won’t get read.
I think one needs to transition away from the dopamine fueled high and focus more on what brings meaningful discussion and sharing of diverse opinions. With that said, I wouldn’t be opposed to a feature that allows users to quickly jump to the same discussion on other instances or communities.
