Compared to established, age-old platform? Yes, we’re less developed. But do you know what’s even worse? Corporate greed! Rest assured, we’ll improve and mature over time.

Reddit refugee* (2 e’s lol) here- I definitely gave up the first time I tried to sign up for Lemmy. Only the absentminded attempts to open my old Reddit app convinced me to keep trying here lol.
I was pushed this way from the Sync developer, as apparently a few other folks were. Still working out how everything works on Jerboa in the meantime.
Just out of curiosity, what have you found difficult about Lemmy?
I’m not the OP here but my biggest hurdle has just been finding similar communities to the ones I regularly browsed on Reddit. I don’t totally understand how the difference instances work here, or if that affects different communities being visible when I’m searching for something. It seems that if I am signed out of my account on one instance and search for something then I get a lot more results vs if I’m signed into this account and try to search.
I’m also using Jerboa, but was a Sync Pro user for years before. I’m looking forward to those devs releasing an application for Lemmy in the future.
Yes, discoverability is a large weakness of federate systems. As I understood it:
Second, due to instances being separate, there can be multiple variations of the same community. For example, a community “Technology” could exist on 10 different instances and is entirely independent from any other with the same name.
