Thank you for what you are doing, it's great!
I kind of agree that Lemmy is still too rough around the edges. Sublinks, piefed.social and Mbin seem to progress fast, hopefully one of those can emerge as a better alternative

and reddit seems openly hostile to ‘reddit alternatives’
Some mods are too. I talk about Lemmy in one of the subs I know, but I keep it low profile and make sure to still comment outside of talking about it to avoid being categorized as spammer
The one thing you’re missing is a REASON for people to migrate to Lemmy.
Actively developped, ad-free mobile clients.
I know everyone on Reddit uses the Revanced Sync or Boost, hopefully at some point they won't work due to technical changes and the awfulness of the Reddit app will lead people here
Lemmy likes to emphasize that you should register for smaller instances and not with larger ones. This “spreads out the load”.
As usually, there's a bit of information to add to that advice: join one of the top 20 instances, just not the biggest one.
I agree it can be confusing.
As someone else commented, they could work as tags that communities could apply to themselves
It is indeed a nice change
Thank you for sharing, interesting topic!
On a side-note, I just had a look at Piefed, I like their topics list: https://piefed.social/topics
Artists posted on Twitter, which people would access via Nitter
Auto-refresh has been disabled since a few months.
Sad to hear. 429s seems to be a known issue: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/470
Any reason why you don't want to try Lemmy? Alternatively, the is https://narwhal.city that runs Lotide (https://sr.ht/~vpzom/lotide/)
https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin is a fork and being actively developped
http://sublinks.org/ is another Lemmy alternative
The fact that they work is quite impressive. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but the work you did is something.
