From my 10 year reddit experience, hardly anyone reads the sidebar until shoved down the throat.

I'm expecting the same from recent reddit refugees.

Although one could argue having a DM pop in right after sign up and they would ignore it as well. Projection from me, but that's what I did when I subbed to a subreddit that has a welcoming DM. I don't doubt others do to.

To the defense of the me turned instances, there's only so much admins can do. Leading a horse to the water and all, as the saying goes

Purple is one of my favorite colors, so it always gets a like from me.

Looks great.

IMO it's gatekeeping. I got the feeling there's a group in the threadiverse that don't want reddit refugees.

To them, it's a feature, not a bug

I'm loving this trend but it's a pain not having a hashtag that I know of

I personally like tesseract than alexandrite for desktop, although that's not listed in that page I linked

unfortunately the tesseract dev is calling it quits because of burning out with Lemmy development.

it is a fork of photon either way, so when something broke if tesseract truly won't be updated, I'll probably use that instead

that's good news then. but it wasn't when I looked way back idk 3 weeks ago?

that's not the main reason I wanted to jump ship though. it's the defederation that pushes me to try other lemmy and even mbin instances.

I personally am abandoning my l.w. account.

from a content discovery and interaction aspect, lemmy.world has its fair share of federation fights. this would mean you wouldn't see content from instances that defederated them, nor will users from those instances see yours

and from the aspect of the software of Lemmy itself, it's not up to date. I personally am not sure what that entails, but it's probably not good
