I’d poke around a bit more then. Most default subs are “entry level” where 99% of people lurk. Quality discussion and an actual feeling of community develop outside of the default subs.

The reason for so many subs about the same subject tend to stem from rule differences, mod interactions, and other meta schisms. I think this is healthy and leads to better community/discussion for active users

So... you are agreeing with me and proving my point that centralization is how 99% of the people use Reddit today, meaning de-centralization is not an actual replacement to it, but instead a different thing?

again... I'm not debating which is better or worse, or what's your personal preference.

But either you are not actually reading what I'm saying, or you are just agreeing with me in a roundabout way

also, going with you example of multiple anime subs. If I search for something on Reddit, I'm going to find all posts/comments that mention that (unless I'm blocked, of course).

With federation, there's a good chance I won't. That I already mentioned in another point above, that I still need to use my mastodon social account to search from time to time, because it has way more results

Where we diverge is on the need for one main hub per topic. But that is subjective.

As to the needing to search via mastodon, this would be a great opportunity for an Apollo-like tool that could connect the dots. @christianselig any plans like this?

I give up, you seem to be just refusing to read. If there's a "need" or not, doesn't matter. It's how Reddit currently operates, which makes Lemmy different, so it's not a replacement

Replacement ≠ Alternative

People who are done with Reddit to the point of trying another service probably don’t just want another Reddit.

Do I personally think Lemmy is “the one” that could do it? Probably not. But do I think if a good enough app came out that collected centralized everything client-side a lot of those issues would be moot and it’s a possibility.
