This is why Lemmy won’t grow, a lot of instances are forcing their users to create another account on other instances, this was my third account due to the blocking of some instances like this…

Yes, this seems to be super common here in Lemmy…

Ublock Origin is working for now.

I’m using Jerboa and have been testing Thunder since yesterday, not bad, but still a bit limited, we need to be patient and give the developers some time, there are already like 10 apps and a couple of forks of third party Reddit apps in active development.

I’m generally happy with my migration to Lemmy, it’s true that some communities that I was following on Reddit are missing, but little by little alternatives are appearing and that’s cool.

It still bothers me a bit how instances can block other instances making the user have to create another account on another instance to see and interact with some communities (lemmy.world has blocked lemmit.online for example, which is an instance whose bot republished Reddit content on the respective community and sometimes there are interesting posts that aren’t on Lemmy, a solution would be to simply block that instance from showing posts in “All” and “Local” but allow people to still subscribe to them and see them in their own feed), but I’m glad they usually do it with toxic instances and it’s not the norm.

And in general lemmings are less toxic (for now…).

Oh, and thanks to people like you, who had the balls to migrate, things are easier here thanks to all of you.
