Thanks for that. I lurk lemmy every once in a while but found it really hasn't hit a critical mass yet, but man, it's amazing how a good interface improves the situation. At the very least it's a good methadone for my suddenly cold turkey reddit addiction...
Is this unique to lemmy.world or does the "old" trick work on other servers?
Yeah, it's interesting how a familiar interface really improves the accessibility. I struggled with standard Lemmy because I didn't like the UI. I'm not sure if it works with other instances. I haven't tried.
Yeah lemmy is just too full of tankies for me. I mean, reddit was full of half baked political takes, but at least they didn't spout apologia for North Korea.
I almost never log in to any of these sites (hence my problem with reddit requiring login), it would have been the front page. I will say I haven't gone to lemmy recently, so perhaps it's changed.
OTOH the worst offender [1] is lemmy.ml (run by lemmy's lead dev), and it's still federated and going strong.
