Hi guys. This is not going to be a long post and I will briefly explain why I didn’t like Lemmy and going straight back to Reddit.
- Lemmy is not a likable name.
- There are so much socialists/communists around, including Lemmy’s founders. Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities.
- Every app I tried is buggy.
- Lemmy world usually experiences connection problems.
- Content is not likable enough. I’m reading Reddit to relax, laugh and chill. Lemmy can’t provide that yet. Memes here are generally low effort.
That’s all and thanks anyway! Catch y’all later!
Lol at the implication that the term community is indicative of communism.
This made me laugh as well, especially given how that concept is prevalent in the US. 😂 OP is probably not a native speaker.
dude the first three letters are the same it’s all but confirmed /s
- actually that’s a reason??
- I barely see them, but what I did see today was several people saying ‘Fuck the CCP’ with a ton of upvotes.
- Have you tried the webapps, wefwef/voyager and … mymlm or whatever it’s called? Those are apparently really good. Remember there was no Reddit app until the community built it, and the apps weren’t perfect at the start either, but they did get there. Have fun using the piece of shit official reddit app, since that’s your only option now.
- First legitimate reason. It’s a busy instance. Try making an account on a less busy instance. I am connecting through lemmy.nz and I have no problems. It’s easy to copy communities over with Lasim.
- Second legitimate reason. Well, half. If you want better content, why don’t you take the initiative and help make Lemmy a better place? This is kind of like ‘everyone else isn’t doing the work for me.’

It’s not “kind of like”. It “is”.

You’re not wrong, it’s the price we pay for federation.
Maybe we should push for a ‘merged communities’ function, where similar federated communities can join so you get one feed that contains all the posts.
Oh that’d be cool. Merge communities are federated communities. With distributed moderation. That would be really cool
Did some digging, merged communities are coming:

I would still be happy with that

I think part of the problem, at least as far as memes are concerned, there’s a few groups at critical mass and then there’s some smaller ones with higher quality content that don’t get the recognition.
I keep coming back to this, Subscribed is your only feed, you have to cultivate it into a palace!
It amazes me when people think their opinions are so important they feel they have to announce they’re leaving. The insecurity involved must be truly astonishing.
It’s fine when it’s constructive, but when it comes down to “fuck socialists”, “fuck their opinions”, “fuck anything socialists make” and “Lemmy World is glitchy” I’m honestly not sure wtf they expect anyone to do with that information.
Hi Spez 😆
Yeah I guess Reddit is the right place for you
Lemmy apps are buggy so you are going back to Reddit? I got some news for you buddy…
" Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities"
You’re making the right choice. Reddit is definitely the right place for you.
It’s hard to take this seriously if you’re talking issue with the word “community”.
First of all, Lemmy tell you why the name is great.
Just on the “There are so much socialists/communists around, including Lemmy’s founders. Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities.”
You really need to learn to tolerate and listen to the views of people you disagree with. Just cutting those voices out entirely and not wanting to hear them really is putting yourself into an echo chamber. You are an individual - don’t fall into the trap of thinking you need to belong to a “group” and agree with all the thoughts in that group and disagree with all the thoughts outside that group. It’s important that you are open to being challenged and hearing other peoples world views, even if yours is ultimately unchanged. Otherwise you’ll just be a sheep thinking how others are directing you to think.
Also, the idea that the word “community” is socialist/communist is the most rediculous thing I’ve read in a while.
Just go outside.
Dear god.
This is the most reddit post it’s almost satirical.
For “point” 1 (which is quite possibly the single dumbest reason I’ve ever heard!):
👋 byyye
There are so much socialists/communists around, including Lemmy’s founders. Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities.
I call bs on this. This is just regurgitation of ‘common knowledge’. The creators of the code had tanky beliefs and that has no bearing on the vast majority of the content.
What I find is there’s a lot of privacy hardliners to the point where I’m scared to admit that I like using Chrome as my browser in case I get lynched. But I’ve joined/lurked on a lot of communities (and how is that a communist word?!?) and not so far seen anything turn into a debate about socialism/communism.
But bye bye.
One question:
If you do not like it here then why are you here?
Content is decent/ good, certainly it is not as much as Reddit but hey - Lemmy is just getting started. While Reddit has been there for what? 7 years? Longer?
My reddut account was from 2012. 2010 is when digg died and reddit took off more. So, reddit had 13 years to develop its content flow. This person couldn’t stay around 13 weeks to see what Lemmy could be.
