So the two solutions I'm seeing are either the Lemmy version of a "multireddit", or another bot that reposts things across instances lol

Yeah but that can be determined just by account age and number of posts, not by the public reception of those posts.

Nah, it's been enabled, it's literally just that instance that wont show anything without an account on their instance.
Unless you mean the setting for my *.world account can be on everywhere else but OFF on the *nsfw instance alone??

No some communities need a new login. lemmy NSFW has no content without it. th there's the issue of having a slow instance like world vs another instance
So... how's Lemmy doing? Any plans to upgrade soon? It's pretty slow and really hit or miss with loading. About 40% of the things either don't open or fail to post. And I'm fine with that! For now. Growing pains and whatnot. But it'd be cool to see some plans on how Lemmy is prepared to handle this growth. It already lacks a number of smaller communities I miss, so if there's to be any reason to use it, it's gotta at least function.

I tried to comment but Lemmy kinda sucks and only works maybe 40% of the time.

Yikes. Asking all visitors to enter ID? They just don't want anyone on those sites. You could just as well use a device-based age verification system and cut out a major point of access. Looking like Arkansas and Mississippi are following the South Korean model.

So far I've seen lots of discussion in AskLemmy and plenty of memes in 196 or 195

This is what bugs me. When the personalities a sub is built around stays on Reddit despite supporting the protests. Like game subs - if the Devs are there, the players will post there. Supporting the protests in name, but not joining a community on the current best alternative....

Prior to smoking, the primary emotion was disgust. Just on a basic physiological level - the stuff stinks.
Post, it became an odd mix of nostalgia, sadness, and still some of that basic disgust.

Well of course a new site has some ramp up time compared to an 18 year old platform.

Nope, I'm seeing discussions unrelated to Reddit every time I'm on here. And there's often more comments than I care to read! The main hurdle for me is the long load times and the inconsistency of the buttons.
But remember!
There's never going to be a perfect alternative. No Reddit alternative is going to function the same as a massive 18 year old site from Day 1. It takes some time, some stress tests, some development, and some dedication. Just remember the shit they pulled to bring us here.

Thank you @talklittle for having that app for so long
I didn't believe it would really go down until I saw it myself
Tried using Firefox for Android w/ Adblock for about 1 night and the user experience was as bad as using Lemmy, a site buckling under expanding user growth and in its infancy in development. So I said "Well, I might as well just use Lemmy".

Half? Yeah right! Even if they were half the nation - which they aren't - it's gonna be like 90% in some areas and 10% in others.

it's most dangerous to think you're immune. it's subtle enough to sway anyone in ways you don't realize.
