For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.
Whenever every ‘What’s the worst show you’ve seen?’ is asked, you’ll get 10,000 “Kardashians” answers, which is just easy karma farming.
If someone posts in a community that’s geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.
Atleast the second point on your ‘missed’ list is generally instance related (atleast in my experience).
The only issues with buttons not working I had was when I didn’t realise my instance was down to update to 0.8.1
True, and I am aware of that. But just speaking of the user experience, it is a pain point that I’m currently experiencing that I wasn’t when using Reddit (aside from the occasional “You Broke Reddit” outage periods).
That’s not a criticism of Lemmy, I mean I lived through Friendster’s cripplingly poor performance, Twitter’s failwhale, and the bad early days of Reddit. Performance issues with new, growing social media sites is to be expected. But for the time being, I do miss being on a more stable platform.
