  • I think most of the problems you mention I’m mitigating by hosting my own instance. And that makes me to see lemmy as a set of forums instead of a reddit alternative like you propose.

    Reddit cannot rely on other instances to provide content for its users. As such, it hosts all its content in a single, general-purpose instance.

    I would rewrite the second sentence into “As such, content it doesn’t like is not possible to be hosted on their single, general-purpose instance.”

    People who code in Rust would do an amazing job if they focused on instance creation and management.

    Instance creation and management does not require coding skills. It’s a very different skill set, one of system administration and web hosting.

    Your feed depends on which instances yours is federated with

    I think it’s the other way around, your feed depends on which instances yours is not defederated with. You can always kick in the federation with an instance by subscribing to their communities and then see all of those.

    Interface developers should expect users to have 2+ accounts

    That is just a ugly workaround, I hope we can come up with something better.
