In theory as far as I can see Lemmy is heading for Reddit 2.0, which is way worse.
In my eyes, currently:
- Mods are abusing their powers, as usual.
- Lemmy. World is acting more like a company by day.
- Some instances block VPN and Tor.
- Federation is kinda of not that perfect right now.
- I guarantee that not a single instance will defend their users privacy.
So… That bring me to my question, Why would anyone who can use Reddit, use Lemmy instead?
Seems like most of the mod actions taken about you are about off topic posts: https://sopuli.xyz/modlog?userId=16440635
How so?
Some instances do, and you can choose to use them instead. That’s the main pro of federation.
What issues do you face?
It’s a public forum, so privacy has a limit. However, you can delete your account and posts. Also, Lemmy apps have much less permissions than the Reddit one.

Yes. LW still doesn’t have ads or AI deals with Google, which Reddit does.
A few instances like lemmy.dbzer0.com are pro-VPNs. Others are pro-Tor. Still, having the option is better than Reddit where you just can’t use VPNs and can’t use another instance.
I’m currently on a smaller instance and interact with all LW communities just fine. Still, if you want some non-LW communities
Reddit comments are archived in real time by websites like https://www.reveddit.com/ , that’s just due to the nature of a public forum. How would you expect things to work?
