Didn’t they just fix all of this mess a few weeks ago? Or did that just introduce even more inconsistencies?

What I’ve seen others recommend, and I think would have helped, is the ability to ‘port’ to another instance. So it can just be “Go create an account at lemmy.ml. Don’t worry about the instance, we can always port later if you want”.
I know now it doesn’t really matter (and have accounts with all the big instances) but I agonized over what instance to join at the beginning because I didn’t KNOW it didn’t really matter.
The ‘port’ ability also seems like something that is just a good idea in general, so I believe that to be the best option (that I’ve seen).
undefined> I disagree that it was harder to sign up for.
You are correct, and I misspoke. By ‘harder to sign up for’ I was referring to not just the actual sign up process, but the steps involved before the actual sign-up process (deciding on an instance, which itself requires learning what instance means, and doing research to find out the differences between instances are).
I blocked reddit the day they announced the API changes, so no problem there!
Fair enough.
What do you propose? Lemmy is significanly more difficult to understand, sign up for, and use, with far less content than Reddit. And the majority opinion seems to be ‘fuck those kids that don’t understand how to use lemmy, we don’t need them’.
Lemmy is something like .02% the size of reddit
The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.
The first is infinitely re-watchable even with the terrible CGI, but the second one is unwatchable.
