Coming from reddit, Lemmy isn't great (lemmy.one)

I appreciate the decentralized architecture and the privacy that comes with it, but it's organization isn't great.

I'm not sure if I understand why certain instances can choose not to federate with other instances. It just seems to limit the content that is accessible to me. I don't want to have to switch between 4-5 Lemmy accounts that I switch just to curate what I to see. Its impractical.

I'm not happy with the changes on reddit and will most likely ditch entirely soon. Lately I've only been using it for tutorials. But at least I wasn't closed off from viewing anything and everything I wanted without sifting through instances. I hope great things come for Lemmy, competitors are great, but in its current state it just seems doomed.

Can't access lemmygrad.ml from this instance. Not going to complain since I understand the reasoning and am grateful for this instance.

I haven't run into others, but if lemmy actually takes off there will be more fragmented instances. Seems to be an inherent pro/con depending on how you look at it.

Ah yes I can see, trying to manually add communities form there via search results in "No results." instead of parsing that community.
