I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation.
I agree that Lemmy needs massive improvements to compete with Reddit, but it’s still an improvement over Mastodon.
For an open source hobbyist project, it’s quite good. I just hope that programmers help out.
I think Mastodon isn’t trying to solve the Reddit usecase though. As a Twitter replacement, Mastodon is great from a UI/UX perspective.
