In another thread, I read a user's comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page.

Is this your experience? How was lemmy when you joined and how do you think it's changed?

Lemmy seemed to me to be a lot more empty when I joined. I’ve enjoyed it recently. It’s seemed much more lively and with better content. It feels like the old days of browsing Reddit for 8 hours a day.

classic Open Source software problem.

"Can we have one big community where we work together?"

"NO, FUCK YOU, GOING TO GO MAKE MY OWN FORK/INSTANCE, WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!"

If it’s all federated, then making your own instance doesn’t take you out of the community, you’re just in charge of your own little part of the community.

being able to post to other communities, and actually doing it, are two entirely seperate things. I'd wager a lot of lemmy posters will stay confined to their own instance.

Especially if they end up following a post to a very problematic instance
