Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
I’m already seeing some issues with the power of the bigger instances. I had made my profile in the Lemmygrad instance to later find out that Beehaw blocks it, so i was not able to see or interact with any content from one of the biggest instances, nor would anyone there be able to see me.
I know that it’s important to be able to remove platforms from some groups, but it also raises questions like, would anyone be able to create leftists communities inside beehaw? If I want to see any instance should I just selfhost my Lemmy instance?
