Right, but the nice thing here is you can actually fix this, or suggest how it should work instead, and there’s a way to get it sorted out. Something on Reddit annoys you? Scream into the void and cope with it, mostly.
There’s a lot that can be done to make it simpler and easier given enough time.
More importantly than that though, as long as any fediverse-enabled platform takes off, then it actually doesn’t matter if it “succeeds” (if by succeed you mean millions of users). Do I care if somebody uses Kbin instead of Lemmy? Hell no. Kbin’s success is Lemmy’s success and vice-versa.
The measure of success is not Lemmy user numbers. The measure of success is fediverse user numbers.
I find lemmy too complex and technical to succeed…
I found reddit complex once upon a time. I think once people wrap their heads around instances, everything else is easy.
For example, have you tried mentioning a user in a comment? it shows every corresponding username in every instance…

I though it’s too complex too but with https://browse.feddit.de/ it’s pretty simple to set things up.

How could I use Lemmy to see outside Fediverse content?
