    It feels like every post on Lemmy at the moment is “Why isn’t this Reddit? Make it Reddit!”

    “Just an idea”, if you want Reddit, go to Reddit.

      There’s a slight difference in wanting the fediverse having the same usability as Reddit and it actually being Reddit.

      What we want is our shit in one place, without one asshole controlling what we see. Is that really such an impossible dream?

      We had reddit. They are going to take it away on July 1st. We are looking for a replacement. Lemmy doesn’t have to be that replacement, but that is what people are looking for.

      I just got here from reddit and have no idea how this place works. All I know is that if you want all the reddit users to help this place grow someone needs to do a better job of explaining how it works or it needs to get way simpler.

      If you don’t want all the reddit refugees that’s fine too. Carry on!

        Well, you joined a big instance which could have downsides. As some communities will have alrwsy decided not to share content. Either way make sure you’re sorting by “all” and not “local” to get the full experience.

      And I initially liked lemmy because or the small friendly community but I’m starting to run into the same issues reddit had as more people come to lemmy. Oh well!
