Fediverse

That Lemmit bot that just keeps posting links to Reddit has got to go!!

If it's worth posting or discussing, link the original article and make your own damn post. I don't want a link back to Reddit.

I stopped using my lemmy instance for the most part and moved back to my lotide instance.

There was some sort of bad upgrade that killed my lemmy instance, and when I got back incoming federation was ok but outgoing wasn't.

Discovered that I need to rate limit federation or it pwns both lemmy and lotide.

I unsubbed from a lot of communities that seemed like they couldn't help from constantly bringing politics into stuff, leaving my feed a lot quieter. I'm sure you hate candidate X, but this is a knitting community...

I do feel like engagement and participation have dropped off from the Rexit peak. However, as the pace has slowed the quality of the posts and comments have stayed strong or even gotten better.

I'm looking forward to being able to block whole instances to get a lot of the bot-generated chaff out of my All feed. Stuff like sports scores and Hacker News reposts.

It feels about the same, aside from the week or two hexbear was around.

So far better, more people actually chat, and Lemmy.world goes down less

Lemmy has gotten a bit slower, but the mobile app experience has gotten significantly better. I only go to reddit for one specific subreddit. Other then that, I'm full blown decentralized, except for my friends who still use discord.

On kbin myself, but the amount of spam and bot posts is off-putting. It's worse if I'm following the same community on multiple instances. I'll have the same exact spam post show up multiple times in my feed because it was posted on multiple instances. There seems to be little in the way of moderation. Still browse here and appreciate it but I hope it improves in the future.

Also experiencing a bug where some long posts or comments will not expand making them unreadable.

It seems to be more active than the first time that I made a lemmy account. I'm looking forward to some of my favored subreddits making the switch.

Well....it exists, now.

It's gotten better for me, since the mobile apps available have gotten better. Initially I was using the website on mobile which felt clunky and filtering options aren't great. But now with apps like Connect I'm able to curate instances and communities I see more easily, so it's a more focused experienced than the default I had before. Apps really do make a difference. If these type of apps had been more mature in the beginning it would have helped initial adoption and retention.
