It's giving me some early reddit days vibes. I remember searching for communities that fit my interests, it felt less based on recommendations and more 'pick your content yourself'. never felt the urge to post much myself on reddit, this feels like a place I would though.
Biggest downside I see right now is user base size and UI of mobile apps. Have only tested Jerboa right now, which feels like a very basic app (still working fine though!). once I get some customization capabilities back on mobile I'll be happy!
And the user base will grow, the fediverse approach feels kinda nice.
Im testing out Mlem (iOS app) and it also feels pretty bare. It looks like Lemmy will gain more popularity and hopefully the new users stick around.
