  • I think Lemmy specifically doesn’t fall victim to the issue of certain news agencies and personalities being exclusive to the platform as much as Mastodon does with Twitter. You can get the same news here as long as someone is there to post it, but that’s where Lemmy is a bit behind at the moment: we haven’t hit that critical mass of users such that smaller communities have enough content to sustain themselves. Maybe the platform isn’t ready for all those people quite yet either; I think the software has a little maturing to do before mass adoption would happen.

    On top of that, the Lemmy user base consists mainly of left wing people and tech power users currently. Not a bad thing for me, but it does make me wonder about how effective it will be at attracting a larger user base; I personally think Lemmy needs to simplify/streamline/modernize its default UI/UX and sign up process to something more people are familiar with, but I’ve gotten a lot of pushback when I bring that up
