Since Day One (spez’ fuckup) I have been trying to use and like lemmy but it just doesn’t work right at all. Like as in never did. Communities disappear randomly, posts don’t load, submissions have no comments, you name it. At this point I am considering going back to reddit just like everyone else I know that used to care is doing already. Any others out there with same experience or is it just me and my shitty ios app for lemmy?

    I don’t think that at all - a dozen or two replies to a topic is great because you can then reply to all of them on a personal level. That’s how things were on forums in the old days. If you have hundreds of replies then there’s the feeling of shouting in to the void, everyone competing for attention, that’s where centralised social media platforms went wrong. On a decentralised platform we can take back the personal approach, that’s what makes it better than Reddit - the danger is that it might get too centralised again and end up just as impersonal.
