I started moving from Reddit to Lemmy a few days ago, and since then I've been forcing myself to spend time here and getting myself used to it. I quickly checked the list of popular instances and decided to join lemmy.world and not beehaw because I didn't like their decision of defederating other big lemmy instances.

I've been lurking lemmy.world for a bunch of days, and I like it enough not to look back at Reddit anymore, so props to that. It feels a bit chaotic though, with many tiny communities being created all the time with very few post and comments in them.

Today I decided to take a look at beehaw's and in perspective it feels so organized and content rich that I'm quite impressed.

I guess it comes with a big amount of moderation and organized content creation work and I wonder how sustainable is that in the long run, but props to them so far for the project!

What do you think about beehaw?

There seems to be a bug in the application system right now, where the reason for rejection isn't delivered to the applicant. So they may not be at fault here.

Yeah, it ultimately doesn't matter why, I just didn't realize these communities were so closed-off. Makes navigating a post-reddit reality pretty frustrating.
