Some will be misses and have bad recommendations going forward, but at least a handful will be very like-minded readers.

I dont know much about the primary developers of Lemmy, but from what I can tell this is a part time labor of love project for them. Its unreasonable to ask people to push beyond their boundaries or capacity so that their pet project can become a 1:1 replacement for an incredibly mature platform like Reddit overnight

I’m not gonna lie, I tried it out of sheer curiosity
