Exactly. I 100% agree with that sentiment.

Two of the developers are scary communist tankies. And no, I don't think software can be right wing or left wing. Maybe if it's centralized, like X, but the developers of Lemmy can't interfere with Lemmy servers they don't admin, and it's open source (lots of other people contribute to the Lemmy source code at this point and so would be able to spot things added in).
Personally, I think the right way to advertise other competitors on the fediverse isnt to fear monger about the developers, but to say what features the alternatives have that might be good. Also, it is nice to have competitors, so also just to advertise based on the availability of alternative options, since it is nice to have those just in case.
It is kind of weird thay it hasn't been done yet, but in that thread they posted it sounded like it's totally possible at the moment.
Hm... Maybe if I open the app more often I'll get to that point?
Their overwhelming market share is probably the main problem.
Saaame. I'm jut on Mastadon now to boost ti's numbers and support the fediverse.
What technical limitations do you see? I feel like other than multireddits this place is basically equal to reddit.
Ya I just got to reddit for specific video game ones now basically. Or specific TV shows.
There's porn on here. Lemmynsfw.com is actually the second most populous instance irrc (or top 3?). Just got to convince people to post to it. But then we got the same problem of trying to convince people to do that lol.
Oh nice. See, this is the kind of stuff I'll have to look up lol
I need a practice laptop to learn Linux with...

Ya I don't mind and I think it's because this place reminds me a lot of old forums or old reddit. I really miss some of my old forums and the community that would be built there.
. The smaller feel also encourages contributing over lurking, because every individual's comment can actually get read, unlike the huge megathreads of reddit.
