Lemmy vs kbin?

Lemmy is much better for developer/admins. There is currently 10+ Lemmy apps in the works and 2 apps that supports both Lemmy and K.bin this is because K.bin doesn't have a proper API documentation yet. Lemmy also has a better documentation for running your own instance and uses way less resources. Most of the Lemmy's advantages are technical ones but it translates to user facing ones with more apps, more responsive, has more users and can scale better

The rich pressuring the poor to donate money

Reply in thread

It is a net loss if you donate your own money, in this situation Company isn't donating from its own revenue. It is donating customers money.

If I donated 1000$ and claimed tax deductible it would be a net loss. But if I asked everyone for donations, raised 1000$, donated that and claimed tax deductible that wouldn't be a net loss.

Just more of the same but they somehow made it worse and started sending messages threatening to open to subs that was never meant to be public anyway also claimed that r/Finnland has 20 Million monthly unique users when mods can see it is only 20k

Its been one day without Reddit

It is not much different than having multiple subreddits on same topic which is extremely common. Eventually one of the multiple communites will become the biggest and New users will go to that without much confusion. However Lemmy has added benefit of having those different communities on same topic hosted by different people. So if one host starts doing things users disagree they can just move to another without much hussle

Can't say much about stability as I have only used it for a short amount of time but it is the fastest shop gui I have ever used and I don't even think it can get noticeably faster. Everything feels instant

Lemmy.world improvements and issues

It would be very nice if communities could set a default post language that user can override. Most communitieswould want their post in the same language anyway and scrolling trough the list to select a post language every time is pretty annoying especially on mobile

Also my verification email went to spam/junk would be nice to have a disclaimer about that if it isn't possible to fix atm
