As I mentioned (and you listed) growth has its pros, but the troll is basically going "growth good EDIT WOW THANKS FOR LE GOLD KIND STRANGER!". And in Reddit's case (relevant because the troll is comparing both platforms), if anything the excessive growth already led to problems.
Lolz "gold", that takes me back. Also AL1 CAPES SETNENCES R AWLAYS TEH BESTE W4Y TOO CONMUMICATE EVERAH PIONT (and if I spelled
everyanything correctly there, then I did something wrong!

My account was shut down without notice a few weeks ago. The server providing my account shut down. All comments, saved links and history was gone.
How do you explain this to a non-technical user while reassuring that this is a great system?
It's crazy to me that whatever program you used to make that account on that server didn't automatically force a backup location on the same device where the account is used. On Android, some folder. On desktop, some folder. And it's crazy to me that we can't just import all of our votes, comments, and posts in that backup to another account on the same device or another.
That is a terrible system. No answers from me. Just questions

I have to say this is my experience too. I'm a boomer and whatever stumble upon here is purely coincidental.
Lemmy Explorer
Instance and Community Explorer for Lemmy
(lemmyverse.net)
Type a word for something you might be interested in, and if there's a community it should come up there. The main problem is still that the fediverse doesn't have enough people to support niche (or even kinda niche) interests yet

Oh man it really is too. I spent the better part of a day trying to find a good instance to join to post and I couldn’t figure out the various keywords and stuff; every time I thought I found a fit it was basically the opposite of what I needed. Then I gave up and stopped even wanting to do it.
Yeah I join two neither are great. And unlike here you can't see anything outside your instance. Guess I will keep posting to YouTube until they get their shit together.

"you know how when a corner shop closes in town, you're still able to go to a different store, but if safeway has driven all the other stores out of business and then shuts down you'll fucking starve to death?"
This is exactly what happens with Churches. Someone starts a "hip" new church plant. Everyone leaves the local long-established churches. Long established churches shut down. Church plant falls apart because the guy starting it doesn't know what he's doing. No Church.

Lemmy isn't too hard, it's just annoying at times. Like when your instance hasn't downloaded the content of a given community and it just looks empty until you subscribe to it.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

After you block a few hundred groups of anime and nonsense it’s surprisingly enjoyable.
I'm still mad at the 196 mods for causing even more 196 commies to be made for me to block.

Who is moe and why is her midriff so popular???
Isn’t moe the bartender in the simpsons?

Wow, so that's how it works. I signed up to a couple because they interested me and hoped in the future something would be posted, or I would, and then saw a heap of posts.
It wasn't dark magic after all. Perhaps it was psionics?

But, after all that it's still better than Reddit.

It's not even that different really.

Those all caps you're using are cruiser control. The ones used in Reddit are to show excitement. Get excited for the product, "wow" /s.

Derp. ...it's the sensible thing to do here, I know.

I still don't fully understand what Fediverse and instance means.

I still don't fully understand what Fediverse and instance means.
Fediverse = universe of federated instances.
Federation = many entities connected together and interoperating, etc
Instance: every individual Lemmy site with its own domain name runs an instance (a running copy of the software) on its server.
Those servers are talking to each other so users on one can talk to users on another server. That's federation.
