How much does he own?

Can't shake the feeling it'll be a pump & dump. It would be truly poetic for Reddit to be pumped up with bot content, IPO, then dumped.

So basically if IRC and Reddit had a baby, it would be Lemmy?

Yeah for sure.
And mods would run wild with power? Remember r/askscience? Mods basically killed it by gatekeeping to the extreme. IMO peak reddit is 2012.

Yeah I feel like Mastoden tries to do too many things at once. It feels like twitter and discord put together.

I'm going back to bargaining. Maybe I can find a way to still use it even after they kill off old reddit (I'm sure this is next). But I just think of how the soul of the site will be gone. It'll just be like any facebook group or twitter feed.
I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

Posting/commenting has been hit or miss. Seems to hang a lot.

I'm here because they banned it. Figure if they are threatened by lemmy it must be good.

- Makes sense. Is mirroring feasible? Happy to help there.
- Yeah I get it. Maybe there could be a button of servers to show, and by default it shows everything. Allow users to paste in a server list.
- Will do.
Also Lemmy could use a way to easily mirror Lemmy sites to help with overloaded servers. This is actually what I thought lemmy was at first, a giant decentralized IRC-meets-Reddit.
I think from 12-14 june all lemmy servers should have a giant "hello redditors" banner with a how-to of setup. Put instant registration servers at the top of the list. And a quick how to. Simple is best. Relax normal rules and moderation.
I hope I'm not too critical. I see a future in lemmy but what I don't want are redditors coming over, getting frustrated and confused, then leaving. We do well, we could very well end up being the successor to reddit. If things are buggy and difficult, not so.

Redditfugee here. Lemmy is like if reddit and IRC had a baby. Some honest feedback:
-
Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don't need to be approved? At least temporarily. 90% of people are going to end up here when checking out lemmy. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get started.
-
It's confusing how communities on other servers aren't automatically and easily available. You can add them but they should visible from the start.
-
If you add an external community and are confused as to why it's missing comments and posts, there should be a message to tell the user that it's fine, it's just syncing.
