While I understand that most of Beehaw’s administrators are not programmers, I think it would be helpful if you reached out to the developers and ask that the Lemmy software offer greater levels of configuration when it comes to the UI. Making a vague post about “issues” on your own forum ensure that whatever issues you have will never be heard by the developers.

People are mourning the loss of a platform. I think it’s okay that a majority of Reddit alternatives are talking about its death (at least for them).

I still use Reddit but have been exploring alternatives.

My sister is 30 and doesn’t have a driver’s license. But she does live in a city with solid public transit.

I’m still on Reddit and don’t plan to leave, but it’s always nice to be on alternative sites like Lemmy. Half of the subreddits I read are still shut down, and there is debate on some subreddits on whether or not to stay shut down. It seems like most average users don’t care about the API changes and some are wondering what the big deal is.

Why not use both? Doesn’t have to be either/or. You don’t have to be super ideological, use platforms when they suit your purpose. I’m sure Lemmy will grow with time.
