      Ah, the YouTube experience. Jeez, you guys are still talking about this? Wait, no, no you’re not.

      Reddit was getting pretty bad about surfacing ancient threads there, for a while. I thought they were back on their bullshit about Gamestop but no, three year old thread.

    I haven’t dug into the docs so I’m not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but I’ve noticed that old posts will never get pulled into my instance after I subscribe. So a sub can appear empty, but then I’ll click to go to its home instance and it’s full of posts. Lemmy only syncs new posts upon federation (but again, not sure if that’s intended/expected).

    This is the biggest usability problem for me on Lemmy right now. I don’t want to hop between instances.

    Same thing when the “hot” feed shows dozens of threads with zero comments. Idk what hot means in this context, evidently.

      Please don’t ever say “hecking” ever again. Leave that shit on reddit.

    Experiencing the other side of this having just built a new instance. As the communities get closer to 50 subscribers, all I can think is “post, post, post”

    With all this open space it is perfect for a young community looking to create their own space and make it a familiar home.

    The foundation has great potential for the budding DIY social media administrator to customise the layout.

    And the neighbourhood is safe and progressive… No don’t ask about the other side of the street.
