“Poorly”
Is that what they say or what you're saying?
Me. You can’t deny that lemmy and mastodon feel shoddy compared to the big names. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t use the other motherfuckers, but there are tons of times where I reload my feed and it errors or is empty.
Just the nature of running your own services, and I accept it.
But still, anyone coming from Reddit is going to 100% say it feels shoddy.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. You’re spot on
I mean sure maybe some of the huger instances have more hardware behind em. Mine works well most of the time, but I do run into issues often enough that I feel like we aren’t on par with Reddit.
And I don’t expect it to be, and I’m fine with it. My admin is running it himself for free (to me) afaik, and I like the guy, so I ain’t complaining.
The UX of lemmy on the whole is also worse; seeing the same post fifteen times because someone blasted it to multiple instances and communities does get old.
Guess I’m not allowed to be critical even though I literally said I’m fine with it all. 🤷🏻♀️
People place convenience too high on their priority list when figuring out what services to use.
