You find it unusable? How so?
Any topics outside of memes, IT and politics are nearly non-existent.
This place is heavily skewed towards a specific niche of mostly males that are chronically online
Isn‘t the approach from OP tackling exactly that problem? Or do you think it will be too much for switchers to set up a community here?
They could tackle that problem exactly by creating an instance that reposts whatever gets posted to reddit subs. Asking reddit mods to help is just pathetic and won't work.
Well, then create some topics and communities
Yeah, because I love talking to myself
And you forgot leftists.
Sure bub, "every single" website... surely you're talking about leftist media that covers for the president left and right, refuses to take hardball questions - your ilk are encouragable. Always accusing others of what you yourselves are guilty of. It was your party who supported slavery, and your party who breached the California capitol in the 60s with firearms. It was your party that shot up the congressional baseball game.
Always censoring what you can't stand to hear .. you are the minority but cry the loudest. Red wave.
lol more insults. I've seen what makes you cheer.
Yeah because trump is going to solve those problems, man GTFO the republican and conservatives are a complete joke, as flawed as the democrats are and as amazing as presidents lincoln roosevelt and eisenhower were, the republicans of today are literally just a joke clown army for putin.
Your beliefs in the scheme of things mean nothing really. Everyone around you thinking the exact same mindless zombie thoughts does not constitute a majority, even if in your head.
I know most of your inspirations likely do spring from your own head, just like whatever undoubted mental health issues you've got going on.
Sure, so because I don't see trump as a savior im mentally unhealthy. Great logic you got going there.
For me, it needs features from RES, Toolbox, highlight new comments, etc.
Unless I'm mistaken, highlighting new comments was a reddit gold feature, not RES.
Yep, that's why I listed it separately. I used a script for highlighting comments on reddit: https://archive.fo/kgsfz
Perhaps it would be simple enough to modify it to work on lemmy.
EDIT: Saidit has it built-in.
You cannot block an instance, there are no multireddits, Sync is still in beta, the main instance is down half of the time, searching for contents is difficult, the discovery of new content is drowned among duplicates of existing communities.
I'm a heavy Lemmy poster, but all of these points should be addressed for Lemmy to become mainstream
