#3What are the current solutions for discoverability in Lemmy? Having a tombstone on Reddit pointing people towards a specific instance is good but it’s still hard to be the definitive community when the namespace isn’t as restricted any more. Maybe that’s better?

#4What is/was stopping Reddit from doing this:
- Decide that you don't want third-party apps.
- Buy out all the big players (Apollo, etc.) and integrate some of their tooling into your own app/core.
I understand it would have cost a lot of money, but they could have found a middle-ground where everyone is happy. Instead, they're throwing a stupid tantrum that could end up costing them a lot more than it would have cost them to solve it the more traditional way.
Stinks like incompetence and lack of awareness to me.

This is huge, hopefully more communities migrate away from Reddit. That platform got way too big for it's britches. Just don't move to Discord, Discord is terrible.
The major problem Reddit has and will always have is "power moderators". Losers with nothing else to do but become janitors and impose their will on very large forums. Imposing their politics, their culture, their sensibilities on 100+ subreddits.
I remember there was one site that had regular moderator elections and cycles baked into it's system. Whatever the solution is, it ain't Reddit.

Social media is an endless process of migrating to a new place
It's writing a new chapter in your internet story.

I agree. Wikipedia has the same problem, with possibly even larger impact.
