What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

That kinda defeats the whole purpose though. The entire point of reddit was to have a big community surrounding a certain topic. Having to have multiple communities for the same topic just increases fragmentation.

That tends to happen naturally anyway. People tend to join the biggest and the most active community they can find.

The difference now is that you can more easily break off in case of a schism, without having to fight for the subreddit name or come up with weird prefixes like r/true_whatever and try to bring people over.
