For a minute there was an officialness to Reddit, like the game studios I was interested in would be active on their subreddits so that was a legitimate way of communicating with them, and such. Lemmy probably will never achieve that, because I’m SURE game studios and the like aren’t going to choose instances.
There were things like flairs or whatnot, seems there were several parallel things like that that Lemmy straight-up doesn’t have so at least some formats of sub don’t work here.
There also needs to be a solution to the “We just started a brand new community so it’s time for the same creator to upload 90 near identical posts, flooding All.” issue. Especially when it’s from the porn instance.
Hmm. Larger businesses do tend to have their own email domains, and I suppose it would have to work the same on Lemmy. I wonder how well it would work to reverse-proxy one instance behind multiple domains. And yeah, flairs would be good, it’s just a matter of adding yet another table to the Lemmy’s databases and building out the APIs and mailboxes for ActivityPub compliance. And then displaying them properly on the frontends.
I’m really surprised by how many people actually use the local screen. Unless you’re on .world you’re basically harkening back to the old days of disconnected private forums, when you’re looking at Lemmy that way.
Honestly, the only thing I miss about Reddit is a few communities that aren’t here. I actually prefer the UI here and everything.
