That thread shows everything wrong with lemmy at the moment.

"Go to lemmy.world"
"No, we need to fight centralization. Go to lemmy.ml instead."
"No, those are tankies. Go to lemmy.ee [sic] or sh.itjust.works."
"I've switched and now can't see any posts."
"Yeah, you need to ctrl+select English and Undetermined as languages in the settings."
"Use this client, it costs money but it's only a one-time purchase".
"No, use that client."
"I used that client, but got only server errors."
"Well, it Works On My Machine^TM^."

When you've been on Lemmy for a while this might all make some sort of sense, but to everyone else, this is complete and utter madness.

Honestly this is normal for new ecosystems. Right now lemmy is still mostly only attractive to reddit refugees who are also tech nerds. Streamlining will come in time and then the floodgates for eternal summer will open and ruin the platform ๐Ÿ™
