    Of those

    Small dev base

    Fair but not a huge issue (until it is ofc)

    Confusing UI

    new reddit lol. Also most folks are on apps.

    Powertripping mods

    redditors are used to that.

    Shitty communities

    redditors are used to that.


    The big lemmy issue is that it isnt active enough to bring people who would make it active enough to bring more people and start the upward momentum of activity.

      One of the lemmy devs thinks Rust is easy because he powered through it to a working code.
      Aint no senior dev gonna work with this.

      See how I mentioned that issues are being played down every time people mention them? Yeah.

          They are absolutely not small issues. They are issues that drive users away all the time. Why do you think so many people left when all the api stuff happened? Huge peak of users, then it all went away in four months. Because Lemmy has issues, toxic communities that are extremely visible.
