Slashdot -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy. Back then, web servers didn't have a lot of resources. So if a Digg post was popular, it could slow the site to a crawl. Then we all knew the site was being "Digged".

The problem is that they often repost news that has already been posted in the community. It gets quite annoying.
For those who are wondering about the bug. I have recorded a video: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v44t4n7u8prhppj2h3e33/RPReplay_Final1691364551.MP4?rlkey=qmk24dy9t4z6u4paom4zks5jm&dl=0
Exactly. Users who are involved in extremely niche communities will probably not find a place on Lemmy/Kbin yet. In 2008, reddit was the same. The politics subreddit only had 50,000 subscribers.
It's all about momentum. The more users we have, the more engagement in niche communities, the more it'll attract and retain users.
A platform can always be improved, always. Lemmy is alpha software now and the growing problems we had in the beginning may have annoyed some users.
I think the most important thing is to keep making improvements to attract new users. I'm already finding the content infinitely better than it was a month ago.
Well... It's is beta...
I suggest that you uninstall it and install it again. I resolved a lot of issues that way.
The main problem I have with Gnome is exactly this: extensions. Vanilla Gnome is so barebones that it makes the MacOS feature-rich. So you really need extensions.
But the problem with extensions is that when you update Gnome, you're not sure if the extensions you're using will work. It's a logistics I don't want to think about anymore. For me, extensions are good for distros because you can update everything as one package.
I'm much happier with KDE. As always, experience varies, but this has been my experience.
Me neither. Linux is my main Operating System but... We can't generalize one Windows experience just like we can't generalize one Linux experience.
Memmy is my go to app and it shows the instance:
This is the way to go. Lemmy/Kbin is a non-profit community initiative and we all need to do our part to ensure its success. Whether it's helping with programming, creating new tools, helping with documentation, hosting instances, donating, and much more.
That way we'll be free from platform enshittification.
