I’ve switched to Lemmy for about 4 days now. Here’s my opinion on the platform:
Is it good?
Yes. I found many common communities I follow, such as Degoogling, open source, Linux, self-hosting, history, maps, space, Minecraft, etc etc. Many of the more obscure communities are a bit off-limits, tho, like Polandball or alternate history. I was able to find more underrated Degoogling things on this platform more than on Reddit, which is a huge plus
What caveats do I have on this platform?
Again, obscure communities are a bit off-limits, and while I was able to find SOME, most were non-existant. Other than that, I haven’t encountered any other issues other than not being able to create a community
How’s the universal community?
They are really helpful. At times even moreso then on Reddit. Again, I found more obscure and underrated things on this platform than I do on Reddit
Is this viable for casual people and would I reccomend it?
If they don’t care about the specifics, then sure, this is a viable option. But if they follow obscure communities and care about the specifics, they would have to push through. I so far did, and it’s a great experience so far. Would I RECCOMEND it, tho? Yes, I would. Again, tho, it depends on wether you care about obscure communities or the specifics
Conclusion
Lemmy is, so far, great for my experience. The communities are good, the platform is good, and overall it feels fresh that I don’t have to be tracked by a centralized platform at all times to fuel their greed. I love the idea of it. I just don’t think I’m gonna ever switch fully to it, however decentralized Reddit frontends like Redlib help with me viewing the obscue communities I follow without having to use ths proprietary platform directly


Just dont talk about the Uyghurs ❤️
We talk about them more than anyone.

This shit reminds me of how neonazis like to spread lies to claim that Stalin was worse than Hitler.
Now you’re doing the same thing while your country is actively committing genocide across West Asia.
Which country would that be?
At a glance I’d guess Canadian, coincidentally a country where many Nazis and collaborators moved after WW2.

O Canada
Government retreats on Victims of Communism memorial names in aftermath of Nazi controversy
No, you’re just spreading propaganda run cover for your government as it commits genocide in West Asia. Hence, a neonazi.
You proved my point 🫶
Yeah, your point is that we don’t let you spread your stupid nazi lies. How terrible!
It’s pure Reddit. Just fling shit everywhere and then act like we’re owned when we tell you your shit stinks.
You can talk about them! Xinjiang looks beautiful to visit, sadly I’ve only seen it through video.

I’m referring to travel vlogs like this one. Do you have videos of the vocational schools you’d like to share?
