I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it’s “dogshit” and “not going anywhere” get systematically upvoted.

Some of those trolls get then exposed when you ask them what Lemmy instance they tried and one of them with whom I had a surreal exchange answered with something like “yeah ofc I used Lemmy, this is the instance: join-lemmy.org 🤦‍♂️

It’s frustrating that these trolls keep contributing to the big lie that “Lemmy is not ready yet” and that there’s “no viable alternative to Reddit”.

This and the overwhelming number of comments being “against the mod protests” just prompts me to question whether there isn’t some brigading being organized straight from the Reddit HQ.

    The biggest problem for me is that rhe ui is kind of… shit. I really hope sync for Lemmy changes that.

      The algorithm sucks too. When I sort by “hot” I get days old threads. “Ht” needs to prioritise both popularity and recency

        Kbin’s algorithm is much better. I’ve been spending most of my time on that, and I still get all the Lemmy content since it federates with Lemmy.
