I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

it shows promise, but the federation leads to much confusion. In order to truly replace the likes of reddit and such, it needs to be more cohesive.

Does it really need to entirely replace Reddit? I'm happy as long as we can form vibrant communities and keep the conversations going.

I agree it's rough around the edges. It would be nice if, in addition to federated servers, there were also federated communities. That way if I post something to /c/homeassistant here, it auto-propagates to /c/homeassistant communities on other servers.

That is what I was trying to get at. Any community should exist on all of them, they just have different home bases. On top of that, we have Lemmy & Kbin, both running on top of Mastodon. This can work, it just needs to solidify a bit more before it fragments too far to be useful. I don't want another reddit, I want the communities that reddit enabled.

Yes, being able to replicate communities with redundancy across multiple instances would be fantastic. I have accounts on like 6 lemmy instances right now and would spend some effort on getting redundancy to work, if it was possible.
