A way to easily find and join subs, from my phone/in the app, so I can have my own feed. I’m not willing to set my stuff up on my computer. I’ve worked in IT for over twenty years and I hate doing anything on my computer anymore and can’t get myself to even try. It’s a me problem but it didn’t exist with Reddit. From Apollo I could find, subscribe, leave subs and have my own custom feed. I’d still use Reddit instead if they didn’t kill third party apps. But they did, so I try to make this work but it’s sucks trying to see content so I just don’t spend much time here either, which is fine, I’ve taken to doing crosswords instead when I’m looking to pass some time.
A central place where everything happens. Or just the illusion of that.
Lemmy does not feel the same between instances/servers, and that makes everything seem smaller.
The only reason there was a small spike in lemmy users was because the competition entered phase 3 of their enshittening. Just like Mastadon lives off twitter going downhill. It’s not that the product is great, it’s just that it mimics a successful service and that service is going to shit.That’s why I browse “Everything” instead of restricting myself to an instance. I then block communities that I’m not interested in, and also make use of keyword filters in Sync to block unwanted stuff.
Flairs and polls
A nice thing about lemmy is when we get polls they wouldn’t force you to load a webpage just to use them in third party apps.
