  • This is an know issue, you have to downgrade your jerboa app, or wait for either an update of the feddit instance or an fix on the app side (which I guess won’t happen).

    This is due to a breaking change in the API of the Lemmy backend, in version 0.18.
    And feddit will wait for 0.18.1, because of problems they experienced with 0.18.











  • While I think that you are partly right. There is also a problem of a fragmented user base with nearly the same interest. Because a lot of these communities will become forgotten earlier than later.
    Lemmy doesn’t have a huge user base like Reddit currently, and maybe will never have one. So, in my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to try to create a new community for every niche topic out there if there is already a suiting community, while existing ones do not get any attention. Lemmy is federated, not decentralized, which is somewhat part of the difficulty.

    Furthermore, did you try to be part of one of the existing communities because you mentioned different rules and mods? I think that might counteract the fragmentation.

    This being said, feel free to create whatever community you wish to create, I just wanted to point that out, and might be helpful for those who like to join one of the existing once.

    Note: When I referred to unsers, I, of course, meant users the lemmings using this platform, this was a misspelling.
