Yeah Mlem is very buggy and missing a lot of big stuff right now. That being said, folks should use it to at minimum provide feedback so it can improve.

Agreed, I am willing to bet the blackout reached at least 40-50% of users in some way.

I have used Reddit for almost 15 years now… This is very reminiscent of Reddit from 2012ish, loved the homie vibe of subreddits then, now the site just feels like a megacorp. Loving Lemmy’s direction so far.

Ironically Reddit mostly became a “filter google bullshit response” site. I miss the community stuff from Reddit of 5 years ago, I think Lemmy is heading in a good direction.
