I started moving from Reddit to Lemmy a few days ago, and since then I’ve been forcing myself to spend time here and getting myself used to it. I quickly checked the list of popular instances and decided to join lemmy.world and not beehaw because I didn’t like their decision of defederating other big lemmy instances.
I’ve been lurking lemmy.world for a bunch of days, and I like it enough not to look back at Reddit anymore, so props to that. It feels a bit chaotic though, with many tiny communities being created all the time with very few post and comments in them.
Today I decided to take a look at beehaw’s and in perspective it feels so organized and content rich that I’m quite impressed.
I guess it comes with a big amount of moderation and organized content creation work and I wonder how sustainable is that in the long run, but props to them so far for the project!
What do you think about beehaw?
I think they’re really nice people in general, they just have their own purpose that might not align with everyone.
I prefer to join instances that are more open about accepting “non-perfectly-aligned” people, it’s more up to you to fend for yourself and conflicts can occur ofc, but also more interesting interactions can spur from it.
I do understand what they’re doing and I do respect their choices, it’s just not for me, that’s it.
