  • I’m generally happy with my migration to Lemmy, it’s true that some communities that I was following on Reddit are missing, but little by little alternatives are appearing and that’s cool.

    It still bothers me a bit how instances can block other instances making the user have to create another account on another instance to see and interact with some communities (lemmy.world has blocked lemmit.online for example, which is an instance whose bot republished Reddit content on the respective community and sometimes there are interesting posts that aren’t on Lemmy, a solution would be to simply block that instance from showing posts in “All” and “Local” but allow people to still subscribe to them and see them in their own feed), but I’m glad they usually do it with toxic instances and it’s not the norm.

    And in general lemmings are less toxic (for now…).

    Oh, and thanks to people like you, who had the balls to migrate, things are easier here thanks to all of you.

    I’m one of them (created this account 10 days ago, but had another one from 15 days ago when I finally decided to join Lemmy and wanted to test this, the other one is from an instance which has some blocked instances, so I came to Lemmy.world), I hope Lemmy grows a lot, not to compete with Reddit, but to build a big and diverse community where we don’t need anything from Reddit (interesting and informative posts, guides, tutorials, etc for example).
