Has /r/trees said they plan to be closed indefinitely?

The mobile website for Lemmy is pretty good, at least for my instance.

Man I’m not looking forward to when the bots find Lemmy.

It’s a Jerboa, which is an actual animal!

I probably will, because I know the communities I was part of there will never be as big and succesful here. Let’s face it, Reddit is far simpler. Lemmy takes a little effort to figure out how to navigate, and many casual internet users won’t want to put in that effort.

I don’t think I’ve left-clicked a link in years. I just pretty much always open whatever I open with a middle click.

However, that’s a post for /c/Lemmy_Support@lemmy.ml

I haven’t and I won’t. As much as I hate the API changes and as much as I hate being forced to use the terrible official app, there are communities on Reddit that won’t be going dark indefinitely that I am an active part of and wish to remain part of.

Lemmy is a great concept in theory, but in practice it leads to what was a single community on Reddit being spread over several instances. A community with tens of thousands on Reddit might find a few communities spread over a handful of instances and because a community doesn’t show up in the Communities list under All until someone does the !community@instance.domain command for that specific community (meaning they physically went to other instances to find that community on that other instance and then in practice manually added it to the list)

This also means that as the amount of instances grows, specific communities will become even harder to find as the instances themselves become more obscure and hard to find.

Confusing. There are communities I can’t subscribe to because I can’t access them from my instance, and I have no idea why that is. The experience has been interesting so far, and growing the network is going to be something I’ll be keeping an eye on. For now, though, I’ll have to wait until someone creates the communities I was a part of on Reddit.

Edit: It seems a community won’t show up on your instance’s community list unless someone in that instance is subscribed to it.
