I mean Reddit is still alive, like it or not I don’t think it’s going to change any time soon.

For me the main issue on Lemmy is the number of thread/community/people that want to talk absolutely about Reddit, at this point this is just counterproductive it’s like people can’t get over it, the first few months it was okay but now it’s just non sense.
That’s a possibility indeed, but at least he documented all the steps, it’s great to see that because it looks like a lot of work. But I agree at the first that big long page for sure can be intimidated (CTRL+F is your best friend here).
