This is being overly simplistic IMO. Lemmy is not a direct copy paste of reddit, just the idea is the same.

But he’s not wrong on a practical level, the content is almost the same on reddit and here, even the memes are being reposted from there to here and then reposted over and over.
To me, seeing the same content multiple times on the All feed makes it seem emptier, like I can just check it once a day and I won’t be missing anything. I blame the accounts that post content on multiple instances/communities instead of posting once and letting it federate and the reposters who just recycle content over and over… maybe those who keep blindly upvoting too.

A normal user doesn’t have any incentive to leave reddit if they are going to find the same things.

If there’s something you are passionate about there’s nothing stopping you or anyone else from spinning up a community or instance about it and creating the niche communities everyone seems to miss.

Yeeeeah no, as I said on another comment, creating a new instance requires some kind of investment, might be monetary, learn a new skillset or dedicating time to keeping it up, it’s not something anyone can do/afford and as time goes on, it might escalate if you plan to preserve everything.
A new community… maybe, but then you’re gonna have to go instance jumping until you find one that fits you and it might be quick or you might never find one.

But some features don’t make sense or seem half-assed, like blocking instances at user level, it should also block every user from that instance, but for some weird reason it doesn’t, you don’t see the post from that instance, but posts on other instances made by those users and comments from users of that instance are still visible… So we are still forced into instance jumping until we find one that aligns with what we deem acceptable… And that could take a while.

Or the fact that Lemmy users talk a lot about privacy but the delete function doesn’t really delete the content as it can be easily restored at any moment.

I don’t think they are, they have shown their fascism since the kks was president and have keep going (just like the puppet promised to).
Here, read the definition first, then come back and tell me they haven’t behaved like a fascist party over and over.
Yes, I know they love to claim to be leftists and the puppet/president is a woman, those have nothing to do with how they behave, what they do or how they act against the people, their hate for the constitution or their constant disdain for everything that tells them they are doind ilegal things or how something they do will have a negative impact against the whole country.

Or do you think they feel happy about Trump winning the US elections just because?

Yes… And getting worse by the day, funny how giving absolute power to the facist party works…

Speaking from a third-world country, there are 2 main weaknesses the fediverse has for us:

• selfhosting is not easy or cheap for us, so we can only use what it’s already there… And it’s basically all in english, so most people are out.
• meta has everyone grabbed by the balls and people are happy like that (for some reason), anything new or different is met with endless excuses.

There used to be a mexican instance called Mujico, but they were forced to use a whitelist by constant troll attacks… But they also federated with grad so I can’t feel bad about it. I don’t know if it still exists but the last time I checked it had zero activity.
