    Personally I just don’t like lemmy, but i’ll stick to where the community goes. This instances are slow and don’t always work well. Simple things like upvotes lag. Either way its splintering the community and that is a bad thing in the long run.

    The sub is already open though and people are posting piracy related questions. I don’t see why people are still bitching.

    people are addicted to reddit and its going to take time for them to get off that drug. Having a robust, functional alternative would help with that. Lemmy needs work still to be that

      Lemmy needs to have people willing to put up with the rough edges and build functioning communities before it will become a desirable alternative to one of the largest websites on the modern internet. Rome was not built in a day, friend.

      I’d say after spending a few days getting to understand the place, finding suitable subreddit replacements and getting the buggy subscription process to work, it’s now about 75% of the way there for me. The next 25% is gonna mainly be just bug fixes and incremental feature enhancements. Check out https://sub.rehab/ and https://browse.feddit.de/ for an easier way to locate communities rather than using the built in search, which is not very functional yet.

        have tried kbin… everything he said about instances being slow and buggy applies doubly at kbin (dot social). some of the busier lemmy instances like this one have it a little but I was get server 503 / unavailable errors very frequently with kbin.

        I hope both fix the issues and we can all enjoy better stability on better infra all around the fediverse… but until then IMO lemmy is slightly more stable.
