I send Lemmy some money every month. Not a lot but what I can. I'm also learning Rust and once I get confident I'll contribute. I like Lemmy and the fediverse in general.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

If the fediverse sucks so much, why are Meta and WordPress and Mozilla making efforts to join it, hm?

Replacing "Lemmy" with "Fedderverse" would behoove you, OP. Sincerely, A Kbin user.
Ernest has fixed a whole lot of the issues today, but I wouldn't recommend kbin at the exact moment, lol. Not that these issues have made me feel like going anywhere else.

lemmy rules. i wish there were less memes and porn on the front page, and/or that the front page refreshed quicker and with more variety. but in recent months it's been bug free for me. and what's huge is that i actually feel good posting here. i'm not giving my effort to a shitty shitty corporate hellhole, it's doing some small part to expand the fediverse.
If your instance is running 0.19+, switch to Scaled as your default sort. It amplifies the smaller communities so you'll see more variety in content. It's so much better :)

I am surprised reddit hasn't removed this post yet.
I got an account banned for saying "lemmy dot world" when someone asked "Are there even any good alternatives?"
For me Lemmy provides a value proposition that reddit does not: consent.

Lemmy I think is in a good place since it's still fairly new. It took a while before Reddit had critical mass and I'd say that happened when Reddit started "solving" crimes and then making the news because of it. The "We did it Reddit!". I think that's when people really started to show up. On here, there's not a constant flood, which can be a good thing. When you reply, you're not buried by thousands of other posts. On Reddit it felt like, if you didn't get in early, chances are no one really saw what you posted. Honestly, I've had better engagement here than I did on Reddit, both in views and quality of replies.
Only time I end up on Reddit, is when I'm searching something and a post from 2-3 years ago pops up. But I haven't logged into Reddit or actually engaged with anything new since the exodus. The date of this account was the last day I officially used Reddit.

I’m concerned with the amount of bugs cropping up between major updates. I looked at the repo and they have no unit tests. Eventually people will get fed up with the amount of bugs appearing.
Which repo are you talking about? There are tests in the main rust repo. Rust puts its tests in line with the code. https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ALemmyNet%2Flemmy%20%22%23%5Bcfg(test)%5D%22&type=code
I have no idea how complete these or or anything. But it's not 0

I do my best to tell about Lemmy and explain what the Fediverse is with my surroundings. Lots of people don't even know about the existence of Lemmy/Kbin or the Fediverse yet. I try not to be pushy like a Arch Linux user but overall I'm doing my part !
