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.
Those guys aren't Marxists, they're mentally unstable Americans with a fetish authoritarianism.

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.
They seem to want new reddit ui and not understand most hate that ui/ux

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.
props to you for running such a niche forum! That kind of thing is rare online nowadays

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. The are good guys.
But I also don't think it matters. For example, I don't really like the behavior of the Duckstation dev (PS1 emulator). But I don't have to agree with him in order to use it.

Like a card style interface?
Edit: to clarify, I understand that, but I also don’t get this specific complaint because it doesn’t seem to be true unless I’m misunderstanding it -

Edit: to clarify, I understand that, but I also don’t get this specific complaint because it doesn’t seem to be true unless I’m misunderstanding itPiefeds 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

But it's the same platform! They all interoperate!
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
