  • Too many variables to do a real comparison. Age difference, technology difference, userbase difference, administration difference.

    Reddit used to be great, and that’s why a lot of us are here now. It’s not a problem with the technology or userbase (mostly, though past a certain point the popularity can become a detriment). It comes down to the administration, which I think is the only thing Lemmy has got over reddit right now, but it is a major thing.








  • Yes, but in their post they wrote about how the large influx of users from other instances made their specific goals too hard to accomplish.

    It wasn’t a philosophical difference with lemmy.world, which is a case that federation would have worked well with, it was simply that there were enough new users that they couldn’t maintain the tighter moderation that they want. And that’s fine, they have the right to administer their instance however they’d like, but if they are having trouble with new users from lemmy.world then they’re going to have trouble with any federation with enough cumulative users.
