PSA: Two major points of criticism regarding Lemmy's user experience will be addressed soon (feddit.de)

Firstly, there is the unstoppable flood of new posts that are added while browsing "All". Although this doesn't happen when using the Jerbea app, it sometimes renders "All" unusable in the browser.

This will be resolved once websockets are removed with the next update:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3008

Secondly, the issue of the same posts being displayed for days under "Hot". There is already a pull request for this, so it has been fixed and just needs to be implemented:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3076

Now, the only remaining points for me are:

  1. Links to external instances should automatically be transformed when opened so that one can participate with the account of their own instance. For example, lemmy.world/c/memes should automatically become feddit.de/c/memes@lemmy.world.

  2. Communities from different instances should be able to merge, allowing users to see the content of all communities across different instances.

Yeah your suggestions and a few more are absolutely necessary to make this a viable platform. I don't think Lemmy or any other alternative is in a reliable enough state right now and almost everyone will just go back to reddit soon. But maybe in a year or so, who knows, depending on the devs (who seem to have questionable takes so I'm not too optimistic).

Atm i like lemmy more , it feels more free and fresh , doesnt feel like i need to expect a removal / censoring from a mod or a filter at every post or comment like on reddit.

I think you're wrong. I think Lemmy is already at the point at which it will survive and thrive, simply because there are enough people here already who prefer it.

Yes, there are undoubtedly people who are so unsatisfied here that they'll end up going back to Reddit. Bluntly, I say good riddance to them. Lemmy doesn't need them and IMO shouldn't want them.
