    I have an old iPad on my nightstand and I paid for Narwhal. I have no idea why I can still use it like the ‘old times’ but I’m grateful that I can still browse Reddit.

    It’s a husk of the former site I loved but the niche communities I care are still there. I wish for and 2nd and 3rd, 4th etc dramas on Reddit to get people here but sadly it’s a numbers matter game.

      Once we reach critical mass it’s all over for reddit. Federation is so much better at a fundamental level

        Community isolation is still a big problem. Federated services like lemmy will never reach critical mass until owners start limited communities to force more user interaction, and cross posting becomes more streamlined. My favorite proposal as a solution is to allow mods of a community to subscribe to another community, and allows it to synchronize posts and comments.
