While i agree with the general idea of leaving reddit, just in two days Lemmy has had some major issues for me personally.
Starting with the fact that accounts can’t be transfered across instances. I’d love to leave lemmy.ml to alleviate their stress and get a faster experience, but i just can’t. Signing up on another instance means none of my posts are asociated to me anymore and i’d have to resubscribe to all Communities.
Lemmy.ml has been 404ing a LOT for me to the point where it’s close to unusable on the web. Jebora works, but that’s about it.
I’m also in the “official” Matrix Channel, but chat is so inadequat for the types of content we do here. Plus it’s not archival or searchable.
For now, i’ll be here. But i REALLY hope lemmy get’s some upgrades to make it feel more like a coherent Network and less like i’m investing in little islands that might not be here tomorrow.
In the grander scheme i truly believe Forums are where it’s at. It’s a space controlled by the community, can be Open Source and has all the benefits of archival and threads. I hate that every community is moving to Discord or other things where information just can’t be found anymore. If lemmy is any better in that regard remains to be seen. The name “Lemmy” is one of the worst they could have picked when it comes to searching though. Motörhead is just to big in comparison.
