    UX/UI are only as bad as the client is. For me, Lemmy is indistinguishable from reddit (if you don't look at numbers of comments), because I use Lemmy Sync, as I used Reddit Sync before

    I’m checking in with voyager here, and I came from the reddit Apollo app and I feel the same.

    It was practically seamless, though I’ve considered switching to try out other clients.

    Tried Piefed and find it clunky with my current level of familiarity

        It's a shame to see that people think of Lemmy creators as some sort of villains.

        I created my account on .ml before the Reddit blackout, but there wasn't much content there, so I didn't use it much. I properly started using it after the "Reddit blackout," and that's when I learned about the so-called "tankie problem." I've met people with weird opinions, but the developers and Marxists in general aren't bad people. People just usually make a strawmen to argue against.

        Anyway, none of their opinions are reflected in the software. Lemmy is done in a truly democratic and user-oriented way, and I respect them for it.

          I don’t understand your problem. Can’t you just tap the image to see it larger? I don’t have to click an image post like you claim to.

            I can understand where the reputation comes from - spammers and trolls will do everything they can to shit all over everything. Maybe this isn't the best way to address that problem, but I definitely understand the desire.

            I run a forum for a very specific model of RV, and fucking spammers came in so often that I shut off registration and register everyone manually after they send me an email. It raises the bar just enough. Every now and then someone will whine about it, and I'm like, I hear you but this is much easier than cleaning the mess the spammers always leave.

                  Maybe I am just noob at using it. But calling pixelfed a substitution to instagram, is maybe just a little reach..
                  Pixelfed I found buggy, slow and dead community wise?
                  Anyone to prove me wrong?

                    The Lemmy devs? I'd suggest to read what they actually write. They are good guys.

                    I also don't think it matters. For example, I don't really like the behavior of the Duckstation dev. It's a PS1 emulator. But I don't have to agree with him in order to use it.

                          Piefeds default is images and text are bigger, like a card style while lemmys default is like old reddit and compact.

                          They've got their complaints in multiple comments in this thread but it basically boils down to wanting reddit but not being on reddit. Which also gets to a lot of other complaints about people moving because it's different than current reddit

                            I use compact on Piefed. It's a click in settings. I don't think this really means anything.

                              I understand, but most of us are here from the efforts of all those who built Lemmy and it was deliberately left off here as an alternative

                                Loops is mid. The community is pretty inactive, and the iOS build is quite buggy and lacking.

                                  I've never used it but apparently people like it, but it's got some pretty interesting development choices, I'll just leave it like that.

                                      Lol, posting Piefed as an alternative to reddit to Lemmy...

                                      Also, PeerTube is super obtuse to get an account and has almost no reach. You almost have to personally know someone who has a server or host your own. There's a reason why video hosting has gotten so corporatized: it's expensive. That said, almost "no one" used Mastodon for nearly a decade and it's finally starting to take off, so maybe it just needs another decade or two.

                                          It's honestly bonkers to have a community hosted on Lemmy this hostile to Lemmy as software and the developers.

                                          Is this bait? There is hardly any hostility here towards the software and the Lemmy devs want to push the world towards being an authoritarian hellscape. If anything they dont get enough shit.
