Reddit is old enough to vote and has several orders of magnitude more users. You can’t create that much content organically overnight. As more content gets added it will attract more people who are interested in that content. In turn those users will contribute even more, even if it’s just in the form of engagement and upvoting posts they like.

Lemmy is already experiencing some growing pains because the decentralized, user hosted nature of the platform will never be able to react quickly across all instances. We deal with it because we don’t want to be controlled by one overarching entity and this is the ONLY alternative. Are there issues? Yes. Are there fewer issues than other social media sites? I don’t know, but the problems are at least different and potentially more fixable in the long run.

Have you never seen a cardboard carton of juice or milk?

It’s so bad, it feels like using an ipad. Notifications are buggy as hell and you can’t even disable notification center with terminal like you could on x86 macs. I’m keeping an eye on Asahi linux but it seems a little too rough to be daily driveable yet.

Sort of unrelated but the apple support threads are all infuriating because they never answer the question. They embody the “it’s not a bug” motto until it’s clear there is a bug at which point they just say apple must be fixing it soon and to just keep your computer updated.

I find Lemmy has plenty of content for my level of use but I didn’t browse tons of communities back on reddit so my feed was fairly stagnant. I like being able to see peoples opinions and conversations about things going on in the world. I can find news topics elsewhere but no where else but reddit and now lemmy really had any worthwhile discourse about them. I don’t mind the same topics showing up in my feed as long as there are new comments that I haven’t read. Reddit was getting pretty hard to use for this though honestly, if there were any serious replies they were way down below the jokes and rage bait comments most of the time.

Plus the paperwork for a shipment is largely the same regardless of how big it is. If you want to ship 50k worth of beer you have to hire the same lawyer to do the same stuff as the business that does multi million dollar shipments.

I’m not sure, I’ve always had a paid account. The free version has all the features but the models are stored in a public cloud. It’s kind of a weird system but I think it’s a decent compromise to let hobbiest use it for free but incentivize businesses to upgrade. I wish the free tier had a way to make specific projects private even if it were a small fee to save it.

Fusion 360 is the bane of my existance. I moved to Onshape and it’s amazing.
