Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?
What are your thoughts on the Lemmy ecosystem?
I've been trying it out for the last week. I have my own opinions, but I'd like to hear others and see if we have common ideas on what is good/bad/indifferent about the Lemmy ecosystem.

Good:
- I can use it for mobile without a first party app.
Bad
- There aren't as many communities here as there were on Reddit.
- There isn't that much content as on Reddit. Also, while the meme ratio of content feels the same to Reddit, the non-meme Lemmy content is rather small.
- Comment conversation seems lacking.
- Moderation tools are rather limited and heavily dependent on defederation to function.
- The idea of "start your own" mindset in the design makes community formation just as bad as Reddit. There doesn't seem to be any tools for a more collaborative approach to running subs or instances.

Did you have a look at the active communities promoted on !newcommunities@lemmy.world ?
