I appreciate the decentralized architecture and the privacy that comes with it, but it's organization isn't great.
I'm not sure if I understand why certain instances can choose not to federate with other instances. It just seems to limit the content that is accessible to me. I don't want to have to switch between 4-5 Lemmy accounts that I switch just to curate what I to see. Its impractical.
I'm not happy with the changes on reddit and will most likely ditch entirely soon. Lately I've only been using it for tutorials. But at least I wasn't closed off from viewing anything and everything I wanted without sifting through instances. I hope great things come for Lemmy, competitors are great, but in its current state it just seems doomed.
I'm not super impressed yet and I'm kind of confused with this whole thing so far. Whatever, screw reddit, I was done with that place anyway so I'll give lemmy a shot.
I was already getting to a point where I spent too much unrewarding time on reddit and wanted out. this is the perfect time. there is an alternative that is close to the same, but different enough that I feel fresh.
