11 months agoI’m one of those c/nfl mods and 12+ redditors that has moved on. I know Reddit probably has some life in it still, but the quality of the communities is going to go down. Decentralization serves users best.

Say goodbye to any sense of community that place had in the next year or two.
This place may have its bugs, but it’s definitely superior.
Fragmentation is, in my opinion, kind of the point.
I think we lose sight of the fact that the Fediverse is new, and conveniences and comforts get added by developers after users have a go at it.
Lemmy is very usable right now in its current form, even if fragmentation makes it a little inconvenient here and there. The fact is, for popular communities, there will likely be one big community with kind of satellite communities that are run slightly different or allow more memes, etc.
Once developers find ways to improve cross-posting and multi-instance feed integration, I think fragmentation will mostly be a background, unnoticed, thing.
I think it keeps mods more honest, because they know anyone can jump ship much easier to another established community - even if it’s smaller.
I’m not saying there aren’t downsides, but I do believe the upsides outweigh it, and it will only get better over time.
