Agree. The lack of bots, sponsored posts and AutoMod comments are a breath of fresh air

I wrote this in another thread, so copy pasting it here:

I believe that the limitation is part of the Mastodon app, and not related to the Fediverse. There might be a character limit but I don’t think it’s as limited as Mastodon’s.

Btw, Mastodon isn’t really fit for this type of conversation. Mastodon aims to replace tweeter - microblogging interaction, where Lemmy aims to replace Reddit - thread interactions.

Each comment on Lemmy will be treated as microblog on mastodon which isn’t really practical.

I think the issue is that the scroll is also updated when the posts list is updated. They need to implement this like twitter where new posts are loaded from above and not the whole page ever X seconds.

I am a simple bouncer. I see bouncing I upvote

I think Lemmy.world is the new meta right now. All Reddit refugees overflow this instance as this is the most generic one and by looking and the number of communities it’s the smarter choice.

I just hope that the influx of users won’t cause too many server issues. I can already imagine what the devs feel like to have so many active users without mentally and technologically preparing for it
