Lemmy could be better…
Care to provide more information?
it's a reddit competitor that lacks features of reddit, including: multireddits, hiding individual posts, card view that doesn't autoplay video, and more but I'm lazy.
I expect some of those can be found by using a different mobile app
not using an app. I refused to install reddit s app, I won't install lemmys.
Lemmy apps are third party
Don't care. I'm not installing another app. It's a website, it should work in a browser.
What kinds of problems have you ran into using Lemmy in a browser on the phone? I use Firefox and set it to "desktop mode" and haven't had any issues.
Lemmy is an api. A website is just another app here. Besides, there are other web interfaces you could use. Have you tried any?
Is there a way to switch UI without switching the server. I do not like the web UI, I got used to old Reddit + RES.
Jerboa is technically First party. Doesn't brand itself as the Lemmy app though.
I see your points.
However, both Voyager and Photon are websites that access Lemmy.
They have plenty features and there are others as well.
I'm sure there's a hacky workaround for every complaint I might have, I've done a lot of those over the years and I don't see that stopping any time soon. I'm just tired of having to fix things before I can use/enjoy them. Effort is a limited resource. It's current year, shit should just work.
I think you either lack information or are just misinformed.
Those are projects that cooperate with each other, not "hacky" solutions.
They offer services free of charge while respecting at every possible level your rights to privacy, I believe your "limited resource" will understand.
I mean it's also a small community built project that doesn't have the money, or resources that reddit has, and hasn't been around as long
Better clients can help, but it takes time for a platform to mature, especially an open source one built with community funding 🤷♂️
If you wish it was going faster, you might think about contributing/donating if you're able :)
There's the features/app part already mentioned, but I also feel like there's few "discoverability". I'm glad Lemmy doesn't has a addicting algoritm, but it's also kind of hard to find new/diverse content that I like, and there's also some issues in the community, but there's unfortunately nothing to do about it.
[email protected] is a start, but not as advanced as Reddit yet.
Surely it's a place to start.
I don’t like the federation part of it
I wish every instance was separate
Would it work if you only browsed local posts, and logged in to each instance separately?
Still susceptible to mass misinformation campaigns
Isn't everything susceptible to such "attacks"?
If you spread the internet across millions of websites with 10k users or less then the campaigns become ineffective and inefficient
Its worth knowing there are some separate instances, like beehaw, though they have a very specific experience they're going for and I think plan to refederate when they have the moderation resources.
Could be worth looking for an instance that fits if that's what you really want
