Reddit refugees be like "Why isn't this Reddit and when will the devs LiStEn To ThIeR uSeRs AnD mAkE iT rEdDiT"
Seems pretty similar to Reddit to me, besides the whole decentralised nature which is a plus anyway
What are people complaining about?
Fun until you realize that other instances can block other big instances from accessing them. Ex. Beehaw defederated lemmy.world: https://beehaw.org/post/567170
And sadly for mainstream users, federation is too complicated compared to single instance :/
Wow I almost joined yeehaw instead of here... They seem too quick to block other instances
It's not a surprise people joined those instances -- yeehaw required approval. To many people that means "wait 24 hours" so they went elsewhere
Not just that, but from what I saw they also require you to write a motivation explaining why you want to join. I always find it extremely hard to write down that kind of stuff in my native language, let alone English. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people are put off by that as well.
