What are your thoughts on the Lemmy ecosystem?

I’ve been trying it out for the last week. I have my own opinions, but I’d like to hear others and see if we have common ideas on what is good/bad/indifferent about the Lemmy ecosystem.

    However, due to the smaller size you do lose a lot of the activity in more niche communities and the sheer volume of posts/comments compared to Reddit.

    That also leads to a lack of diversity of opinions.

      Same as reddit when it was new.

      I’d actually say Lemmy feels larger over the same timeframe, but that’s just sticking my thumb up in the air sort of measurement.

      The problem with growth is that too much, and it ends up trolls and bots making up the majority, and too little growth means it withers on the vines.

      With federation (and the ability to defederate), I think the ideal ground can be found. We’ll see though!
