None of the communities I’m interested are here, and a lot of the posts feel like they’re coming from cryptobros. I’m fundamentally interested in the format and tech, but I’m only here because I refuse to use Reddit on mobile, for now. Things could get better or worse, hard to say.
The big problem is Lemmy is designed to work against federation in every way. Communities must be forced into existence because you can’t just casually post on your instances /r/knitting and expect anyone to see it.
For every community there has to be a “big community” to become established or else it doesn’t exist in a practical sense in Lemmy.
And when it does get established, then the"big one" sucks the air out for all others.
This is a major architectural flaw with Lemmy that was inserted in purpose to concentrate discussion control power in the hands of centralized moderators.

End result, if you want to talk knitting, you’ll have to go to https://lemmy.world/c/knitting
Totally agree. Really hoping more communities get stood up and we get a better mix of population besides early adopters, WSBs, and Reddit hate.
