Furry and hentai, I mean, cool if that’s your thing but I have no interest in seeing it.

I don’t browse at all on mobile now.

I only use old.reddit on the desktop occasionally now. My Reddit usage has dropped by 80% now I think.

I’ve personally found that usenet isn’t that good unless you’re trying to grab things immediately. I find trying to grab older stuff really hit or miss, mostly miss.

But you send email to specific people/groups of people. You don't generally browse for email.

Yeah, I know that, but on Reddit you could go to /r/Firefox and be almost guaranteed that that was the main place that people interested in Firefox would congregate. If you started scrolling, you'd see pretty much everything that anyone posted. For bigger subs there generally was one place to go to find that content.

While here, I could be on .world and see some stuff, but then I'd have to go to .ml or some other instance to see other stuff. Then you've got almost duplicate posts on different instances.

It's just kind of messy. You can't be on .world Firefox community and also see posts from the many other Firefox communities on the other instances, at least if you can I don't know how you do it.

Sure, you can view all and see everything from everywhere, but that's literally everything from everywhere, not just Firefox related stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I like it here, and it's good to have a potential viable alternative to Reddit. I'm just not sure how it's going to catch on with Joe Public unless there is a way to tie the same/similar communities from different instances into the one view while still keeping them separate.

I only briefly browse old.reddit, my mobile usage is zero now Apollo is dead.

Lemmy is okay but it’s kind of a chicken and egg, less content means less users, but less users means less content.

It also doesn’t help that users are split between instances, so Firefox on lemmy.world will have different content/users than Firefox on lemmy.ml.

I can see that not driving people away but confusing people that aren’t massively tech savvy.

IIRC from when I was modding, the automod rules have a history function so even if they were deleted, the new mods could see and reinstate the rules quite easily.

I don’t feel comfortable buying it after when the publisher (IIRC) did to the devs.

I didn’t actually see it was from Reddit. I was like WTF, promoted ads here now.
