Does federation have a bit of a learning curve? No doubt.
Is Lemmy buggy as heck? Absolutely.
But I don’t think that really justifies a lot of the comments I’m seeing in Reddit alternatives threads that it’s hard to figure out. The front page feed and sort options are very similar to Reddit. Searching for same-instance communities is not too difficult. Posting, commenting, and voting are all quite intuitive. What’s the problem?
The people who are still in the Reddit Alternatives subreddit still haven’t moved over yet. You’re looking at a subset of people who haven’t made the move, not everyone.
Many of us have both made an account here, and also still make comments there. It’s possible to do both:-).
I unsubbed there yesterday. When you got the message, hang up the phone ;)
(The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!:-P)
